Chapter 313 Who can snipe the Cavaliers and end their winning streak
Chapter 313 Who can snipe the Cavaliers and end their winning streak
On the morning of the same day, the list of the All-Star starting lineups for this season was announced together with the "Best Player of the Month Award" in the East and West.
After 4 rounds of voting, this year's "Voting King" finally changed hands. It no longer belongs to Li Wan, but Kobe Bryant, who predicted before the start of this season that this will be the last season of his career.
In the last season of "Black Mamba", he became the "Voting King" again.
The original him plus this last time, won a total of 4 "voting kings".And in this time and space, the arrival of Li Wan made him lose the "All-Star Voting King" twice. This is the second time in his career that he has won the "Voting King".
However, with the arrival of Li Wan, Kobe lost more than just a "vote king"...
Of course, it's not just Kobe. All the stars of this era have lost a lot of honor than before.
The appearance of Li Wan is like the appearance of Michael Jordan in the 90s, and the honor of a group of stars who should have been more brilliant has shrunk!
It is also this kind of dominance that has conquered an entire era that has just earned the title of "God of Basketball".
The same is true of Li Wan now, who has collectively shrunk the honors of these stars in the 10s, and only then has the capital to shake Michael Jordan's title of "goat".
By comparison……
Some people hold "entering the finals for 8 consecutive years" and shout: "This is also an era", is it ashamed?
Taking a step back, this 8 consecutive years of reaching the Finals was not achieved by him relying on the group of top stars. It was just conquering the Eastern Conference, far from the point where the entire league was convinced, right?
You must know that not only did he lose more finals, but he also lost all of them very simply!
It's not 4-0, it's 4-1...
Especially in the year when it was said that "God descended to earth"...
The Warriors finally swept directly 4-0!
"God descends to earth" was swept away?
In the words of 10 years ago, this is called "data brush"!
Can this also be called "an era"?
Shouldn't this be called "Time Background Board"?
Fine!
Also considered a book:
"About the fact that I couldn't beat others and chose to pretend to be dead. I beat my peers to death and then my juniors to create an "era""!
Such a "goat" ...
It's fake!
The starting list of the Eastern and Western All-Stars is as follows:
East: Derrick Rose, Lee Wan, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard;
West: Kobe, Curry, Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard, Oden;
Cleveland fans suffocated and wanted to send Wiggins to the final starting list.
However, the background of "Peerless Twins" is too deep, and it's not something he, a rookie in the second grade, can touch.
This time Cleveland was still the only one selected as the All-Star starter by Li Wan.
A new name appeared on the Western Conference starting roster:
Kawhi Leonard!
本赛季的“卡哇伊”彻底成长为了马刺队的头牌球星，他场均可以贡献22.3分6.8篮板2.6助攻1.8抢断1盖帽。投篮命中率50.6%，三分球命中率44.3%，罚球命中率87.4%！
It can be said that he has grown into an all-around striker with excellent offensive and defensive skills.
Under his performance, the Spurs have also gradually returned to the right track, and are currently back in the top eight in the Western Conference. The team that was squeezed out by them is not someone else...
It was Kobe and the Lakers.
On February 2, the league announced the East and West head coaches for this year's All-Star Weekend.
In the west, because the Warriors were the first last season and the All-Star head coach could not be re-elected, it was postponed to the second D'Antoni;
The same is true here in the East. Last season was Thibodeau of the Bulls, and this season has been postponed to Tyronn Lue, who is second in the East.
In the second year of his career, "Perch" became the All-Star head coach.
He is also a bit impolite. The first thing after taking office is to select Wiggins into this list.
Then he added Wade to the bench.
It’s just that this choice has caused a lot of controversy. For these voices, Tyronn Lue seems to have expected it. He said directly: "Dwyane Wade deserves this spot!"
Li Wan also stood up in time to support his coach and teammates: "He is not an ordinary player. He was the MVP of the finals in 06, and he was the scoring leader in the regular season in 09. At this stage of his career, We should cherish the time and opportunity to see him on the court!"
The support of his teammates and the support of the head coach moved Wade very much, but at the same time he was also a little bit pained.
He found that his current life, just like his knee, was getting worse day by day.
Before he could not enter the "best team", he thought this was the limit, but he didn't expect to be traded by Pat Riley and left the Heat. He thought this should be the limit, but he didn't expect to enter a The all-star lineup has aroused criticism.
I am so...
How did it get to this point?
He thought about it for a long time, and couldn't help thinking about the summer of 2010. That day, he was imagining that he and Chris Bosh would make the Heat the top team in the league. Suddenly, a phone call came, and there was a low voice Voice: "Hey, bro, I've made a decision. I want to bring my talent to the south coast. You weren't scared when you saw the news, right?"
Ok……
Yes!
It was from then on that I walked step by step to where I am today.
Shu Zi misunderstood me!
Wade finally stopped suppressing his inner emotions, and he regretted that he shouldn't have given up the core position to LeBron James at that time!
In this case, maybe he is still the "team soul" of the Heat until now.
Even if he didn't win the championship, he certainly wouldn't be as down and out as he is now.
Besides, if you really want to talk about pressure, you may not know who is more stressed!
What!
In the future, we can no longer have "brother brains"!
In addition, the selection of Tyronn Lue did not cause any major controversy, and they were all reasonable choices.
In the West, D'Antoni has also selected the Western All-Star list very safely.
Half a month later, the 2016 All-Star Game came as scheduled.
This year's All-Star Weekend is in Toronto.
This is the first time in the history of the All-Star Game that it will be held in a city outside the United States.
It is worth mentioning that the 2015-16 season is also the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the Raptors team. They won the right to host the All-Star team, which is just right to celebrate this historic moment.
When Li Wan, Wiggins and Wade were No. 12, they were already in Toronto.
The Cavaliers played their last game before the All-Star break against the Toronto Raptors.
The Cavaliers won the game easily, 117 to 101.
The Raptors' performance this season is actually good. They are currently ranked 4th in the Eastern Conference and have just squeezed the Eagles under them, second only to the Bulls, Cavaliers and Heat.
The "Trash Brothers" brought the Raptors to the forefront of the East for two consecutive years, and made their name completely known in the league.
Before the game against the Cavaliers, their momentum was very fierce. They only lost one game in February, and they had the last laugh in the other 2 games.It was also the fierce pursuit of points in February that allowed them to climb to the current ranking.
Just met the Cavaliers, they still lost.
It's no wonder that even if you don't talk about the strength of the lineup, you can say that the momentum of the Cavaliers is higher than that of the Raptors.
The Raptors have only lost one game since entering February.
After entering February, the Cavaliers are still domineering, and they have not lost a game so far, and they are directly "super gods".
Coupled with this wave of 2 consecutive victories in February, the Cavaliers' winning streak has reached 6 consecutive victories.
目前仅次于1970-1971赛季雄鹿队的20连胜，本赛季勇士队的22连胜，以及NBA历史最长连胜记录1971-1972赛季湖人队的33连胜。
Others, such as the Rockets' 22-game winning streak and the Heat's 27-game winning streak, did not happen in this time and space.
This wave of "winning streak" has given the Cavaliers greater attention.
The most eye-catching thing in the league at present must be whether the Golden State Warriors can break the best record in the NBA regular season!
But now... How long the Cavaliers' winning streak can last has become a matter of great concern to the outside world.
ESPN held a "round table meeting" again. Most experts believe that the Cavaliers' winning streak will stop at around 25 consecutive victories. Longest winning streak in NBA history.
Expert Name:
Bill Walton!
"I know it's a difficult thing to do, but I'm willing to believe because there's an All-Star Weekend in between!"
Three days can give the team valuable rest and adjustment time.
"This allows the Cavaliers to reduce the chance of ups and downs in the state..."
"With the strength of their lineup and the stability of Li Wan as the absolute core of the team! I believe breaking the 33-game winning streak is not impossible!"
There are reasons and evidence, but unfortunately not many people agree with it.
because……
The current league is very different from that of the 70s. The overall level of modern NBA teams is very average, unlike the original, and the pace of the game is too fast. Under the premise of "lose a game, you will fall short", even Li Wan and The Cavaliers are really hard to do!
How hot is this issue?
Let's put it this way, during the All-Star Weekend, when Li Wan appeared in front of the media, the first question the reporters asked was: "Li, will you try to break the record of 33 consecutive victories? How far do you think you are from this record? Is there any possibility of breaking this record?"
Li Wan didn't give a clear answer, not because he was cowardly or not confident.
Rather, he feels that there is no need to put off-court pressure on the rest of the team.
The Cavaliers are at their best right now.
The winning streak did not make the Cavaliers feel burdened, but each one was more full of fighting spirit.
And this kind of fighting spirit also made the Cavaliers' running-in more rapid.
Chris Bosh's return, a series of adjustments produced, are gradually converted into chemical reactions at this moment.
If nothing else, then, the Cavaliers will have a wave of winning streak.
Therefore, Li Wan finally said: "Enjoy this All-Star Weekend first!"
Speaking of which, Li Wan did not spend the All-Star Weekend alone this time. Taylor will bring their son to Toronto.As for the outing shots, Li Wan has already told the reporters not to take pictures of his son's face. If he does, remember to type it up when reporting.
Li Wan's status in the world is here, and his words made the reporters nod their heads in agreement.
And Taylor has already prepared a big peaked cap, which will be worn on the face when the time comes, unless the face is shot, otherwise it will be really difficult to take a clear picture.
On February 2, the annual All-Star Weekend officially began.
On the first day of the All-Star Rookie Challenge, it was still the American rookie team VS the world rookie team.
This time Wiggins did not participate.
少了这么一大助力，最终美利坚新秀队以157-154击败了世界新秀队。明尼苏达森林狼队后卫扎克-拉文出战23分钟，20投13中得到30分7篮板4助攻，当选全明星新秀赛MVP。
There were huge cheers from the scene.
Li Wan looked at Zach LaVine holding the cup, and was already looking forward to tomorrow's "Slam Dunk Contest"!
That was also a "Battle of the Conferred Gods"!
Like Li Wan, many media and fans are also looking forward to tomorrow's "slam dunk contest".
The list this time is indeed eye-catching enough, with LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Button and Drummond competing on the same stage.
They are all fierce men with excellent physical fitness!
When Li Wan was asked by a reporter, "Who do you think will be the champion of this year's slam dunk contest", he directly reported the "correct answer": "LaVine!"
Knowing that he was expected by Li Wan, Zach LaVine expressed his joy on his Twitter that night, and said that he will definitely perform well in tomorrow's slam dunk contest!
There was a lot of discussion, and the second day of the All-Star Weekend came soon.
The first of the "Three Challenges" is the Skills Challenge!
The final list of the 2016 All-Star Game Skills Challenge, these people are: Patrick Beverley, DeMarcus Cousins, Draymond Green, Anthony Davis, CJ McCollum , Karl-Anthony Towns, Isaiah Thomas, Jordan Clarkson.
Different from the past, the NBA Skills Challenge is now changed to "Squad PK". Four people from the east and the west will compete for PK. Among them, the person who takes the least time will win the final championship, and the team he belongs to will also win the final victory. By.
Perhaps in order to make the competition between the teams more suspenseful, this year, big men were specially allowed to participate.
No one expected that it was this rule change that gave birth to the first insider player in the NBA to win the "Skills Challenge Championship" in the NBA Skills Challenge.
Anthony Towns, the No. 15 pick in [-] years, went all the way, and finally beat Isaiah Thomas with a three-pointer to win the championship.
Started the craze for the big guys to prove themselves in the Skills Challenge...
Then came the "Three Point Shooting Contest"!
This year also gathered big names, and the final result, this "three-point shooting contest", became an infighting among the "Splash Brothers".
Both of them made it to the finals.
In the final, Klay Thompson scored 11 of the last 27 goals and scored [-] points. He defeated Curry and won the final "three-point shooting contest championship trophy".
His last performance of scoring 11 consecutive 10 goals made Li Wan couldn't help but think of a word:
"Blessing shines everywhere"!
If I remember correctly, it seems to be this year, right?
After the "shooting contest", it is the turn of the "highlight" on the second day of the annual All-Star Weekend. ——"Slam Dunk Contest"!
Although the previous "slam dunk contest" has been "water" for several sessions.
But the fans still look forward to it.
Just like some "old eunuchs" with good writing and a good plot, every time they open a text, they know that he may suddenly cut it, but they still can't help but open his new book cursingly.
And at the same time meditate in the heart;
the last time!
If you cut it again, you will never read this daunting book again!
result……
neither warm nor hot!
Among the four people in the preliminaries, except for Zach LaVine, who showed his due level, there are not many bright spots for others.
This can be seen from the scores of the two finalists. LaVine scored 99 points and performed very well in both dunks.
Compared to him, Gordon only scored 94 points. The first goal was amazing, but the second goal was not up to par...
Just when the fans thought that this would be another Zach LaVine "outstanding" slam dunk contest, the finals began, and the situation changed suddenly.
Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon staged a duel of the century, and the two can be described as head-to-head!
Gordon and the Magic mascot completed three cooperations, one leaping under the crotch and changing hands for dunk, one turning the ball with one hand and turning 360 windmills, one leaping under the legs and changing hands for dunk.
One goal is more amazing than the other, fully displaying his explosive physical fitness.
LaVine's side also exploded. Both of them scored full points, and finally decided the victory through overtime.
On the last ball, LaVine took out a dunk from the free throw line and changed hands under his crotch. It was amazing and beat Gordon's folding back button.
It must be noted that this is the first time in history that there will be two rounds of playoffs to determine the slam dunk champion.
The fans who were originally dissatisfied with their desires were completely satisfied now.
No, it's more than just satisfaction.
But...
beyond imagination!
Explosive!
Dwyane Wade was sitting next to Li Wan tonight and watched the dunks performed by these two people, which made him shrink back and sighed repeatedly: "It's so cruel, this is so fucking cruel!"
Before the extra time, Li Wan asked curiously: "If you were asked to score, who do you think did not score 10 points for the dunk of the two just now?"
Wade looked surprised: "Not enough 10 points? How is it possible? For these dunks, 10 points is the most basic respect, isn't it buddy? Even if you score 9 points, it is not enough respect! If any referee just scored 9 points , I will definitely throw a mineral water bottle at his face!"
Li Wan looked at his determined face and said nothing more.
His eyes returned to the court, he looked at Aaron Gordon, and thought:
Brother can only help you here.
You have to walk the road ahead by yourself!
He turned his head and glanced at Wade again, hoping that when this guy scored 9 points for Gordon in the future, he would remember what he said that night.
After the game, LaVine took the initiative to find Li Wan with his "Slam Dunk King" trophy and wanted to take a photo.
Li Wan did not refuse.
After taking a group photo, facing the camera, LaVine expressed his true thoughts: "I regard this as a kind of inheritance. Li Wan won the slam dunk champion with his impressive performance in the slam dunk contest. The performance is impressive enough... I hope I can continue to match Li Wan on stages other than the slam dunk contest..."
Li Wan's little fan is happy to add 1!
On the third day of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game was staged.
In the opening session of the East and West, the special host is "Magic" Johnson.
This is obviously a linkage between the "Boss of the Lakers".
The players played one by one, and finally, it was the last Kobe Bryant's turn.
Amidst the cheers in the frontcourt, Johnson's infectious voice sounded: "Next is this year's All-Star vote leader, 18 All-Star selections, 3 All-Star MVPs, 2 regular season MVPs, 1 Finals MVP, The 4-time finals champion, from the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe Bryant!"
Every time he introduced, the cheers on the scene were a little bit louder.
From the introduction of "Magician", we can see what kind of honor is honor for these members of "President Hill".
People won't shout "So-and-so has won the overall runner-up n times"...
Barkley looked very emotional.
After all, this is another iconic figure of an era, and his exit means that the 00s are a little farther away.
However, he suddenly thought of one thing: "When Li Wan retires...how terrifying will his honor be?"
Kenny Smith rolled his eyes at him.
mmp!
At a time like this, can you still find a chance to lick Li Wan?
That's pretty cool!
Kobe Bryant's expression was not as cold as usual, with a faint smile, and as he walked towards the center of the stage, "Magic" Johnson continued his introduction: "Never again There is a second Kobe Bryant, fans, let's welcome Kobe Bryant again!"
The auditorium at the scene also started to stand up and shout at this time:
"Kobe!"
"Kobe!"
"Kobe!"
……
Although this is Toronto, the enthusiastic shouts are no worse than Staples.
Kobe waited for a few seconds, and began his speech amidst the cheers. This is his last All-Star tour: "First of all, thank you for your support and companionship over the years. I am very lucky to be able to play the basketball I love, and to After 20 seasons in the NBA, I am also very happy to be in this All-Star Game, thank you very much for voting for me..."
"I am also very fortunate to stand with these children. When I played the All-Star for the first time, most of them were still children. It is a great feeling to be able to chat with them about basketball and share experiences! Only in this way can basketball be promoted in the NBA. Handed down."
When Kobe was speaking, the camera shot across the faces of other All-Stars one by one. When it came to "inheritance", I don't know if it was intentional. The official camera was given to Li Wan.
"...I hope they can also play in this league for 20 years, thank you, I'm going to the event to relax and get ready to play!"
Kobe then hurriedly ended his speech.
Obviously, he didn't want to make this his own "retirement speech scene."
This point was also expressed after the race started.
Although the West is cooperating with him, his final statistics are only 10 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal...
With such mediocre data, he ended his last All-Star career.
But the ultimate winner belongs to the West.
Westbrook won the MVP back-to-back with 31 points, 5 assists, 8 rebounds and 5 steals, becoming the second consecutive All-Star MVP player in history.
It is worth mentioning that the 9 three-pointers made by Paul George are also the historical record of this All-Star.
Li Wan only played 12 minutes in this game.
Only 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.
Fans who were expecting him to have a big fight with Kobe on the All-Star stage were a little disappointed.
The situation of the Lakers this season is that it is very likely that they will not be able to enter the playoffs. Under such circumstances, there is only one game left between Li Wan and Kobe on the field.
That's the last game of the season...
The reporter made indirect remarks and asked Li Wan if he would give Kobe Bryant a visit to Boda in the last NBA regular season game of his career.
It's a pity that Li Wan kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a word.
With the end of the All-Star Weekend, this year's free trade market has also come to a close, which also means that the team's personnel will be finalized, and there will be no possibility of a big deal.
For the championship teams, the current team composition will be their reliance in chasing the final O'Brien Cup.
It's a mule or a horse. It's been almost a season, and it's time to pull it out to see the truth!
On the 18th, the Cavaliers continued their next regular season schedule.
After easily defeating the New York Knicks in the away game, they still won the Magic team even though they rested Li Wan and Chris Bosh "back-to-back". The number expanded to 21 games.
Coincidentally, in the defeat of the Bucks, the Cavaliers crossed the 20-game winning streak of the Bucks that year, becoming the third longest winning streak in NBA history.
And soon, in less than 5 days, they defeated the Bobcats for the third time in the season on the 25th. After completing the "season sweep" of the Bobcats, they surpassed the 22 consecutive victories that the Warriors just won this season.
Strikes a new NBA second-longest winning streak:
23 straight wins!
By this time, the topic of "who can snipe the Cavaliers and end their winning streak" is full of enthusiasm.
The current Cavaliers are only 33 games away from breaking the NBA's longest winning streak record of 11 consecutive victories.
That is, before March 3, if no team can attack them, they will make new history.
In these 11 games, the Cavaliers' opponents are the Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks, Grizzlies, Utah Jazz, Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves, San Antonio Spurs, Thunder, Clippers, Bulls, and " The Village's Last Hope" Kings...
Judging from the opponent's strength, the Cavaliers don't have much of a problem. The Hornets, who have the league's first record and the second record, are not in this schedule.
The Hornets are actually quite close. On March 3, two games after playing these 18 games, the Cavaliers will challenge the Hornets.
Still away.
This was originally the team most likely to succeed in sniping according to experts.
but……
"Even God wants to see historic moments happen."
Here's Reggie Miller's explanation for it.
The Hornets can't count on it. The Warriors have finished both games. The media can only analyze the teams that are most likely to complete the sniping in these 11 games.
There is no doubt that the Bulls are definitely the most likely among them.
Even though they lost 17 points in the "Christmas Game", they still lost to the Chris Bosh-less Cavaliers.
But the NBA is not a matter of 1 plus 1 equals 2.
It's like the last period after the 22-23 season, the Lakers without LeBron James entered the playoffs from the 12th in the West, and the Lakers with LeBron James still have to play the playoffs...
Do you dare to say that LeBron James has no effect?
hee hee~
So whether Chris Bosh's return is good or bad, you won't know until you play!
Except for the Bulls, maybe the Trail Blazers have a little more hope.
After all, the "paper lineup" of Deron Williams plus Oden and Aldridge looks quite competitive.
And they also beat the Cavaliers.
Although it was the Cavaliers without Li Wan...
Then there are the Thunder and the Grizzlies!
The Thunder are currently ranked sixth in the West, but who makes this team have Kevin Durant?
As for the Grizzlies...
All because when the Cavaliers met them, in the second game of "back-to-back".They have a physical advantage, and they might just rely on their physical strength and tough defense to destroy the Cavaliers!
And then……
These experts really couldn't find a team that could stop Li Wan and the Cavaliers from breaking the 33-game winning streak.
Of course, they didn't say anything dead, what if these teams exploded?
They are all NBA teams. Once they explode, it is possible for anyone to win!
The discussion was so loud that even the Warriors' pursuit of the "best regular season record in history" was overshadowed.
The main reason is actually quite simple, whether the Cavaliers can break the "NBA longest winning streak" record, and whether the Warriors can break the "best regular season record in history" is behind.
However, there are also media, such as ESPN, who are already looking forward to both teams breaking NBA historical records.
"Think about how thrilling it would be for a team with the longest winning streak in the NBA to meet a team with the best record in the NBA in the Finals. scene!"
I have to say that ESPN will indeed find topics.
This time, the expectations of all NBA fans have been pulled to the fullest.
David Stern sighed again: "This is really the best era in the NBA!"
Unfortunately, he has officially confirmed that he will retire after this season.
never back...
This body really can't hold it anymore!
Although Xiao Hua's dementia has not improved, the new vice president candidate has been confirmed, and it is Mark Tatum, one of the current vice presidents of the league...
Like Silver, he is also a core member of David Stern's team, but the ranking is behind Silver.Of course, this was before Xiao Hua was hit by a car, and now he is the number one successor.
At the end of this season, he will also officially serve as the new president of the NBA!
On the 27th, the game between the Cavaliers and the Trail Blazers started.
As one of the teams "most likely to succeed in sniping", the Trail Blazers also showed their tenacious fighting spirit from the beginning. At the end of the first half, they fell behind by less than 5 points.
Only from the third quarter, Li Wan singled out Deron Williams frequently and succeeded, directly blowing up the latter's mentality. At this time, the point difference was successfully opened by the Cavaliers to more than 10 points.
The Trail Blazers finally lost to the Cavaliers by 101 to 117 and 16 points.
24 straight wins!
Looking at the generals of the Cavaliers who left with their heads held high, the fans of the Trail Blazers unconsciously missed Roy back then.
If the "Yellow Mamba" is still there, plus the lineup of the Trail Blazers tonight, will it be a successful snipe?
Some media ridiculed: "It's already 2016, what about Brandon Roy?"
Unexpectedly, this time the New York media supported the Portland fans, and replied: "You know a hammer! I prove that as long as you love deeply, it is like this!"
Just like their love for Li Wan, even after another 10 years, I'm afraid it won't disappear!
Thinking about it, I will become more and more regretful!
in particular……
If Li Wan hits the second "three consecutive championships"...
I'm afraid they will have to live in the "dream of Li Wan" forever.
After the Mavericks won their 29th game winning streak on the 26th, the Cavaliers rushed to Memphis non-stop to fight for their 27th game winning streak.
This is undoubtedly another difficulty.
In terms of difficulty, it may be even more difficult than the previous game against the Trail Blazers.
But God seems to be determined to let the Cavaliers do this big. In the middle of the game, "Grizzly" Zach Randolph suddenly felt uncomfortable in his knees. After the halftime break, the discomfort worsened. The playoffs are approaching, and out of prudence, the head coach and the team doctor advised him to give up and continue playing.
Without Zach Randolph, the Grizzlies obviously lost their taste. The Cavaliers, who had only led by 3 points at the end of halftime, successfully opened the score in the third quarter.
Mike Conley held on to the last bit of suspense. His confrontation with Li Wan made the scene burst into loud cheers.
But in the end, Li Wan was even better, with a three-pointer and a block, ending the "dialogue".
109 to 100, with a 9-point advantage, the Cavaliers won their 27th consecutive game.
However, when the reporter asked after the game, "This is your 27th consecutive victory, what do you want to say at this moment", Li Wan's answer was straightforward: "I want to sleep!"
The Grizzlies' title as the "Western Meat Grinder" is not for nothing.
This game was originally due to "back-to-back", the Cavaliers were exhausted, and now it was a "meat-grinding battle" for the whole audience, and it was really supported by mental strength.
This is undoubtedly an experience. Fortunately, the Cavaliers survived!
The next schedule became easier. Both the Jazz and the Rockets are currently in the Western Lottery. In addition, after defeating the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers got two days of rest.
Relieved from the most fatigued state, they won consecutive victories all the way, and won these two games in succession.
The winning streak is here:
29 games!
Then came the Minnesota Timberwolves...
It can be seen that Kevin Garnett and TT are very eager to prevent the Cavaliers from continuing their winning streak. Other teams want to hinder their hearts from becoming more positive, and the intensity they suffer is almost an early experience of the playoffs.
During this period of experience, the entire temperament of this team has undergone obvious changes. Everyone's eyes are like turning out of flames, full of energy and enthusiasm!
Compared with them, the determination of Kevin Garnett and TT is not enough.
What's more, the rest of the Timberwolves were not infected by the two of them.
In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers scored 31 to 17.
Seeing this scene, Drexler shook his head helplessly, and said, "It's really unrealistic to expect them to stop the Cavaliers' winning streak..."
Especially now that the historical record is about to be broken.
It's even more impossible!
The difference in belief in winning between the two sides is too great!
Originally, there was a gap in the strength of the lineup, but now there is still a gap in the desire to win, so...
How to fight!
Not that capable, you know?
"30 consecutive victories, the Cavaliers defeated the Timberwolves and became the second team in NBA history to achieve 30 consecutive victories! "
It was the headlines on ESPN early the next morning, and the headlines on all media.
Before the All-Star Weekend, no one thought that the Cavaliers' winning streak would be so crazy.
Even Bill Walton, who supported the Cavaliers in the "Round Table Conference" to accomplish this, saw the news headlines that the Cavaliers had won 30 games in a row for the second time in NBA history. I feel incredible...
we are……
Witness greatness!
Such thoughts popped up in the minds of countless fans.
At this time, the Cavaliers returned to their home court and welcomed their next opponent...
San Antonio Spurs!
Popovich said before the game: "They are going through an incredible time. Maybe even they themselves will think it is a miracle when they look back on this experience in the future, but they did such a thing. I have to admit, this is a miracle. Helping children accomplish a great thing!"
With his past urgency, he made it clear that he was planning to mess things up by saying such a thing before the game.
But this time...
He may still have such an idea, but it's a pity that although the Spurs have returned to the playoffs, it is really difficult to have any impact on this imposing Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers didn't deliberately target them, they just saw their tricks and played against the Spurs.
But in the rhythm of these waves of confrontation, the "troika" ran and "fallen apart". In the middle and half of the third quarter, the Cavaliers played a wave of 17 to 2 shock waves, which established the victory.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, Li Wan scored 7 three-pointers, which made him officially overtake Stephen Curry and become the man with the most three-pointers in the entire league.
Interestingly, when Stephen Curry heard the news, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, finally, I don't have to think about it anymore!
Ever since Li Wan came back from injury and played an explosive three-point performance, he can be said to have been living in anxiety.
It even affected his shot selection on the court. ——He always wants to maintain his "top card" position on the list of three-pointers.
just now……
Finally freed!
Of course, in the face of media interviews, Stephen Curry would definitely not say that. He said, "This pk is not over yet..."
Ok……
Li Wan made him worry for such a long time, so it's time for him to let Li Wan feel what it feels like to be "exploded" at any time!
It's not...
That night, being full of enthusiasm, he threw 8 three-pointers in the game and snatched back the "top card" position.
At the same time, the Cavaliers set off for Oklahoma again. Their opponents in the next game are Kevin Durant and the Thunder!
