【Chapter 1005】 Create a record

Milwaukee, located in the southeastern state of Wisconsin, the west shore of Lake Michigan, is the largest city and economic center in Wisconsin. ≧. It has convenient transportation and developed economy. It is less than 200 kilometers away from the Chicago Metropolitan Circle, the region with the most concentrated industrial sector in North America. There are 10 Fortune 500 companies and 24 Fortune 1,000 companies located here.

The Milwaukee Bucks are one of the symbols of the city, once won the championship in 1971, when they had Tiangou Kareem and triple-double Oscar Robert, who won the entire season with an absolute advantage.

However, the Bucks have never scored in the championship again since then, and have not even had a chance in the playoffs in recent years. They finally ranked 22nd last season!

What Chinese fans are most familiar with Milwaukee is that when Space Yi competed here, the Bucks became one of the home teams of Chinese fans that year. Unfortunately, the good days always pass very quickly. Space Yi was traded to the Nets by the Bucks in the second year due to injury, and the enthusiasm of Chinese fans also faded!

Now, fans around the world are focusing on this city. Lakers fans hope that the Lakers can set a historical record, and its opponents naturally hope that the Bucks will perform exceptionally and end the Lakers' winning streak!

This game is of great significance. Whether it is related or unrelated, people appeared in the stands at the Bradley Center, which was shining with stars!

This time, the Lakers' wives also appeared in the stands. Although they lived in the same hotel as the players, they were on different floors. At critical moments, the Lakers, whose boss was in charge, would not easily lose their chains.

The most eye-catching people in the wife group are naturally the boss’s wife Xu Mengyao and her sister-in-law Vasani. They are both dignified and beautiful, while the other is hot and sexy. Countless Philin who murdered the reporters at the scene.

Near the wife group, actresses from Hollywood are also dressed up in bright colors, striving to win more attention in such a globally striking occasion.

Tiangou Kareem, who participated in that sniper battle 44 years ago, came. The three-double king O, who was nearly 80 years old, also appeared on the scene. The prototype West on the NBA League logo was here, and the older Baylor also came. The magician Parker Riley was still in a suit and her hair was not messy...

Looking at the stands, it seems like a hall of humanity. These old men condensed the glory and history of the NBA, and it would be incomplete without him. The gray-haired and beautiful fans won the standing ovation of the fans. Even the players who were warming up stopped their actions and paid tribute to their seniors!

Xiao Feng, who changed from an ordinary person to a player in a very short period of time, was particularly touched by this. He never thought that competitive sports would have such a warm and touching side. Perhaps this is one of the charms of NBA!

In addition to these ancient celebrities, retired stars including Jordan, O'Neal, Johnson, Yao Ming also appeared in the stands, waiting to witness the historic moment!

Both media reporters and fans believe that the Bucks, who currently only scored 21 wins and 35 losses, and ranked 13th in the Eastern Conference, would not cause any trouble to the Lakers.

The unanimous dissent between public opinion and the outside world and the feeling that Bradley was arranged as the Lakers' home court made the Bucks' soldiers feel a little in the hearts.

However, the total salary of the Bucks this year is less than 75 million, most of which belong to middle-class contracts. This also shows that the Bucks do not have any superstars; in comparison, the Lakers' starting five tigers, except for Xiao Feng. The salary of the four players has exceeded the total amount of the Bucks, which shows how big the gap is!

Therefore, even after the game started, even if the Bucks soldiers tried their best, the strength gap was too large. What's more, there was a super triple-double king with a basic salary on the Lakers, and the score between the two sides gradually widened. Just like every game of the Lakers in the past few months.

After the half, Xiao Feng's triple-double and Kobe's 28 points gave the Lakers a 16-point lead. Many TV station's broadcast commentators have announced in advance that the Lakers have won 34 consecutive victories, setting a historical record for the NBA!

Although the NBA League president Silva, who was sitting in the stands, had a strong smile on his face, he was quite frustrated inside. Faced with such an insolvent Lakers, even though the league had made home whistles as much as possible, he was still powerless.

A team with beautiful playing style, smooth offense and superstars will naturally make NBA more attention worldwide, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the league!

However, everything has its pros and cons!

The Lakers have won numerous fans this season and increased investments from advertisers and broadcasters, but Silva realized that a near-invincible team is not good for the league because it will reduce the intensity of the game.

According to statistics from the Technical Department, since the New Year, the teams against the Lakers often surrender in the second half of the third quarter. While achieving the Lakers' winning streak, they also make the last quarter of the game become garbage time!

The Serie A was first known as the "Little World Cup" because Juventus, Milan's two heroes, Rome's two evil spirits, Fiorentina and Parma's seven sisters were similar in strength, and Udinette, Lecce and other teams disrupted the situation, which created the glory of that year.

Now, the Premier League and La Liga have formed a sharp contrast, nothing more than the invincible teams greatly compressing the survival space of small teams, and the game has become increasingly ugly, while the Premier League is in a turbulent era, with sparks splashing every game, attracting more audiences and advertisers.

The reason why NBA has been able to be promoted to the whole world over the years is nothing more than a fierce confrontation and a relatively average strength comparison. However, this year's emergence of the Lakers broke this balance, which is not good!

However, although Silva was anxious, she would not use some tricks that would make people catch the handle. She could only slightly strengthen the home whistle and away locker room water supply failure to affect the Lakers' status as much as possible.

After breaking the NBA winning streak record, global media attention to the Lakers and NBA will also reach a certain level. How to terminate the Lakers' winning streak while obtaining the best interests is a difficult problem that tests the league's leadership art!

Looking at Xiao Feng who was raging the Bucks' basket with an unreasonable, ultra-long three-pointer on the court, Silva knew that the matter would still fall on this special player.

Silva believes that after receiving enough team honors and exposure, Xiao Feng will not mind the team losing one or two games. After all, he is not a pure player.

If it were Kobe, Silva would not guarantee that the most paranoid player in the league would have other reactions. Thinking of this, Silva suddenly felt that Xiao Feng was good to join the NBA!

After making up his mind, Silva put aside all the chaotic thoughts in his mind and paid attention to the game progress. To be precise, he watched Xiao Feng and Kobe perform in different ways, winning the collective turnaround of away fans!

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Bucks with a score of 122:108. This was because they ended the attack after leading 28 points, leaving some face to the home team!

When the referee's whistle sounded, the ribbons on the scene were sprayed out, and the cheers and applause of the audience were complemented by the historic moment!

Today, with the increasingly balanced NBA team's strength, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak has been considered an irrepeatable miracle. But after 8 years, the Lakers have made an impressive winning streak.

At the same time, commentators from countries around the world congratulate the Lakers in their own way. After all, such a long winning streak is not only a miracle of the NBA, but also a myth in the global sports world!

Especially the commentator of CCTV Sports Channel, his voice was hoarse. This time, the Lakers' 34 consecutive wins made the Chinese more honored than the Rockets' 22 consecutive wins. After all, Yao Da Ge was reimbursed the season after 12 consecutive wins!

The broadcast has not ended yet. The on-site host has blocked Xiao Feng and Kobe and conducted on-site interviews with them. The various TV stations have also extended the broadcast time.

"Congratulations on winning 34 consecutive victories and creating history!" The host at the scene first congratulated the two, and then asked: "What do you want to say to the fans now?"

"I'm very grateful for the support of the fans. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have persevered. After all, 34 games were a long process!" As the team captain, Kobe answered the question first as usual and said: "There were several times when I was about to collapse. Fortunately, the boss and other teammates stood up. We are a perfect group!"

If it were Kobe 10 years ago, he wouldn't have said these words. At that time, he had reached a certain level of paranoia and believed that after O'Neal left the Lakers, he could lead the team to the championship!

After experiencing so much in recent years, as a 38-year-old veteran, after 19 years of fighting in the NBA, he has deeply understood the essence of team basketball.

"Yes, we are the perfect team!" Xiao Feng nodded beside him and said, "Today's winning streak is a tribute to the celebrities present. It is precisely because of their pioneering that NBA has today's influence, and we will continue to work hard!"

It is very happy to be able to lead the team's honor list to leave an eternal mark, whether it is Kobe who has been through the battlefield or Xiao Feng who has seen strong winds and waves!

After returning to the locker room, Xiao Feng announced that he would pay a prize of $100,000 to each of the team, which attracted cheers from young players and staff!

$100,000 is naturally unattractive to superstars like Kobe and Aldridge, but for rookies like Towns and Randle, it is a considerable amount.

For the staff of the medical team and logistics team, $100,000 is almost a year's salary, and they even shouted the slogan of "Long Live the boss"!

Compared with other NBA teams, the Lakers have a strong Chinese corporate culture because of Xiao Feng's involvement, such as Spring Festival red envelopes, such as holiday expenses and bonuses. These measures do not cost much, but invisibly improve the team's combat effectiveness and cohesion.

After playing the Bucks, the Lakers have 2 games left in February, facing the Grizzlies back-to-back. They will fly to Memphis to challenge the Grizzlies before returning to Los Angeles to complete the last game in February.

Before leaving Milwaukee, Xiao Feng and Silva had a brief talk. The two sides reached a consensus on the Lakers' subsequent game trends. The Lakers no longer pursued too long winning streaks and gave the NBA league enough time to deal with it.

Of course, the league has also taken into account the needs of the Lakers. It cannot lose at home or in the last two games in February. The only thing left is to "consciously lose" against the Nuggets away on March 2.

Otherwise, there will be eight consecutive home games, and when will this winning streak end?

Considering that the continuous winning also put the players under greater ideological pressure, Xiao Feng agreed with Silva and was ready to face his third defeat.

Two days later, the Lakers successfully defeated the Grizzlies in Memphis, increasing their winning streak to 35 games. Each victory will make people who come later will be even more desperate.

In the subsequent back-to-back matches, the Lakers sat in the Staples Arena and defeated the visiting Grizzlies. While improving their winning streak, they once again created a full-month victory!

When playing against the Nets at home on March 1, the Lakers suffered injuries to varying degrees, especially the absence of Jeremy Lin and Nash on the bench, which immediately caused some problems in the team's operation. Although they still won with the strong counterattack of Xiao Feng and Kobe, the score of 107:106 is enough to illustrate some problems.

This game process also gave other teams hope. It turns out that the Lakers are not without loopholes. Perhaps they have a chance to defeat the Lakers?

The day after the battle with the Nets, the Lakers announced that Kobe's old Achilles tendon injury had recurred and put him on the injury list. In this way, Xiao Feng took the "remnants" to Denver.

When people were expecting the Lakers to win 38 consecutive victories in the weak Nuggets, the Lakers capsized in the gutter. Although Xiao Feng scored 20 points, 12 rebounds and 22 assists, the collapse of the substitute lineup made the Lakers taste the bitter fruit of failure.

Since losing to the Rockets away on December 12 last year, the Lakers have experienced more than two months of complete victory, with 37 consecutive victories set a winning streak record. I am afraid that for a long time, all teams will also look up to!

At the press conference after the defeat, Xiao Feng took the initiative to take responsibility on himself, believing that he did not play resolutely enough in the game and missed several opportunities to win.

Regarding the Lakers' loss, the front page headlines of global sports media are all about 'They finally lost!'. After waiting for more than two months, this title finally came into play!

Lakers fans are not too disappointed. After all, the team has given too many surprises. It is not the end of the world if you lose a game occasionally!

Besides, with 20 games left in the whole season, the team only lost 3 games, which is entirely possible to increase the number of winning games of the season to a desperate 77 wins, and everyone is full of confidence!

The regular season has now entered the final sprint stage, and everyone is preparing for the playoffs, but no matter where they are, the biggest enemy, that is, the Lakers! (To be continued.)
