Chapter 1790 The Battle Between Two Super Teams
The 3-point advantage was enough for the Lakers to enjoy this hard-won victory at Staples. They successfully made a good start in the Western Conference Finals and maintained their unbeaten record at home.
Ji Feng and Kobe Bryant jumped on the technical stage and interacted passionately with the fans. Gasol lay on his back under the basket, covering his face with his hands, enjoying the joy of the rest of his life. Bynum took a domineering step and even talked to Fama. Here comes a dance I don’t know where I learned it from…
Jackson shook hands with Carlisle with a smile on his face, even though Carlisle didn't seem very willing, while Harper drank the remaining Gatorade from the players in large gulps, and yelled for the whole game, until his throat was broken.
Not just the players and coaches, but the entire Staples fans and Lakers fans around the world are celebrating this hard-won victory in different ways.
Of course they have reason to be happy. In addition to playing a very high tactical level and a very exaggerated level in this game, they are also celebrating their 25th consecutive victory across the season!
25 consecutive wins across seasons. If this number occurred in the regular season, people would applaud and praise each other, and then rush to tell each other, and then say that this is an incredible feat, although there are the Lakers' 35 consecutive wins, 33 consecutive wins, 27 consecutive wins, etc. Waiting for the pearls, 25 consecutive wins is still unbelievable, and only two or three teams have touched it in decades of history.
However, if it happens in the playoffs, people will first laugh, then ask the speaker if he is drunk and hungover and talking nonsense, and then after learning that this is the truth, they will fall into a long silence, and finally just The rest shook their heads secretly, saying that this was really too scary, and might even yell a few words, "Fuck you, that's awesome."
Indeed, no one dares to believe that a team will win 25 consecutive games in the playoffs across seasons. According to the 7-game 4-win format, this means that 6 teams have been defeated by it, and it was a clean sweep. This means unparalleled dominance!
Yes, this is a new history in the NBA, which means that the most dominant team in NA history is no longer in suspense.
Jordan's Bulls were a killer, reaching the Finals six times in eight years and winning six championships. The entire league in the 1990s was under the red shadow of the Bulls, but the Bulls at that time had never accomplished such a feat in the playoffs.
The OK Lakers at the beginning of the century were also domineering. The internal and external dual-core faced almost no decent challenges in those three years. In 2001, they even entered the finals undefeated, but there was still an 'answer' from Philadelphia that stopped them in the process. On the doorstep of a 16-game winning streak.
The same is true going forward. Whether it is the era of black and white, or the ancient years when the Celtics and Lakers competed, no one has ever tried to do what the Lakers have done today, or even come close to it.
The Lakers have undoubtedly used their own strength to open the door to a new world for the entire NBA.
"It's really an incredible era." The magician who watched the game said on the website. Magicians who have experienced countless big scenes can't help but fall in love with such scenes.
"I'm going to see if the sun will rise in the west tomorrow." Bird Bird spoke in the same coquettish way as always, and a shocked expression was enough to explain the problem.
The most telling thing is of course Cuban. The Mavericks owner watched the entire game at his home in Dallas. Because the game was so intense, his wife thought he was going to burst a blood vessel and even called a doctor first to treat his collapse. Be prepared.
But Cuban is strong enough. I only refer to his body here. After countless mood ups and downs, he is still very healthy, but obviously his mentality has collapsed. After the game, he sent 28 tweets in a row, except for all kinds of crazy expressions. Besides howling, there is one thing that attracts everyone’s attention the most.
"FUCK! You can't fucking win!!!"
That's right, in everyone's eyes, the Mavericks have exploded to 150% or even 200% of their combat effectiveness. Everyone said that 5 of them scored in double figures, shot 54% from the field, 43% from three-point range, and only made 6 turnovers. , no one fouled out, these are perfect statistics in the playoffs.
Among them, Dirk made 14 of 20 shots, Fa Anqiu made 7 of 8 free throws, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 38 points. He also had 10 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 assists, and 1 steal. The data was perfect and very comprehensive. Definitely superstar numbers.
Terry, the team's second leading scorer, made 7 of 14 shots from the bench, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 19 points.
Chandler had 9 points, 3 blocks and 7 rebounds, Marion had 12 points, Barea had 8 points, and Kidd had a near-triple double with 10 points, 9 assists and 8 rebounds.
"With this kind of performance, the Mavericks would win against any team, even the two teams in the Eastern Conference. The Heat have not hit more than 40% of their three-pointers in a game in the playoffs so far, but they faced When I arrived at the Lakers, I met Ji Feng," Barkley said.
The Lakers played equally well in this game. Four members of the team scored in double figures, shooting 51.5% from the field and 44.4% from the three-point range. The two teams had their own strengths and weaknesses in shooting percentage, but they were basically evenly matched. The Lakers only made 8 mistakes as a team. , no one graduated after graduation.
Judging from the statistics, Ji Feng took 27 shots in the game, hit 19 goals, made 6 of 7 three-pointers, and all 10 free throws. He scored 54 points, 11 assists, and 8 rebounds, including 3 offensive rebounds. Feng is also the first player in playoff history to score 60+ and 50+ in back-to-back games.
Kobe Bryant scored 20 points, Gasol had 13 points, Bynum had 10 points, and Artest had 5 points.
Judging from the overall performance, other Mavericks players performed better than the Lakers, but Ji Feng is the unsolvable existence!
However, the Lakers had 24 assists, two more than the Mavericks, and the offensive rebounds were 7 vs. 8. The Lakers had one more, and that was the last one, which led to the Mavericks' defeat.
"The Lakers are already legends among legends, and this epic battle is even more spectacular with their 25-game winning streak." ESPN commented after the game.
TNT said: "This is a duel between two super teams. After this game, the Mavericks have also entered the ranks of super teams. To some extent, these two teams are better than the Eastern Conference." Both teams are stronger.”
The fans in the Eastern Conference were naturally dissatisfied. They all felt that their favorite teams, the Heat or the Bulls, were equally strong. However, one day later, the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals disappointed people.
To be honest, many people were looking forward to the confrontation between the Bulls and the Heat before the game, and the confrontation between Rose and James was also eye-catching.
In 2011, the Bulls' record was astonishingly good. Rose also ranked second in the MVP competition, surpassing James. In the playoffs, they successfully defeated the Pacers and Hawks to advance to the Eastern Conference finals. Rose is the well-deserved core of the Bulls.
On the other side, the Heat, who had just formed the Big Three, under the leadership of James, Wade, and Bosh, achieved second place in the Eastern Conference. They defeated the 76ers in the first round and defeated the old enemy Celtics in the Eastern Conference semifinals. People, meet the Bulls in the Eastern Conference Finals!
