How difficult is it to win 20 consecutive games in the NBA regular season?
Before the SuperSonics, a total of three teams had done it in history. Except for the Lakers who won 33 consecutive games in the 1971-72 season, the Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Congress both had exactly 20 consecutive wins.
The Washington Congress was negligible. It was established in 1946 and disbanded five years later. The NBA at that time was very amateurish.
For the SuperSonics, winning 20 consecutive victories seems to be a very simple thing. They have done it in the previous two seasons. If they do it again this season, the NBA team's historical winning streak record will be in the top five, surpassing
Sonic will occupy three seats.
Next, the SuperSonics easily defeated the Bucks and Clippers, winning 20 consecutive games.
The Pistons, Trail Blazers, and Nuggets failed to pose any threat to the SuperSonics, and they began to strive for 30 consecutive victories.
ESPN commented: "Since Yang Jian entered the NBA, the Sonics have played against everyone as if they were against weak teams. The regular season has become Yang Jian's personal show."
Even in back-to-back games, the Sonics can handle it easily, with the deepest lineup in the league. A large number of lineup rotations keep players full of energy and reduce the chance of injury.
When the score is tight in the final quarter, the Sonics are extremely resilient and it is difficult for their opponents to open up the score. Yang Jian will use his talent of big heart, and the longer he plays, the greater his physical advantage will be.
The Timberwolves were the team closest to ending the Sonics' winning streak, but fell short at the last minute.
In the game on December 23, Marbury showed off his power and defeated Payton. He made 13 of 19 shots, 8 of 11 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 35 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists. Among them, 15 points
In the final quarter, he faced the defense and entered.
The Timberwolves stars couldn't open up the score even if they played like this. Yang Jian and Marbury were fighting each other. You scored one and I scored another.
In the last 4.9 seconds, Yang Jian hit a 45-degree long two-pointer from the right side to lead the team to a narrow victory of 114-112.
After playing this game, the Sonics got three days of rest, and the league did not arrange a Christmas game for them.
The main purpose of the Christmas game is to promote the stars, increase exposure, and arrange a gimmick game for the audience. A contest between two evenly matched teams is more interesting, and a one-sided defeat becomes more interesting.
Commissioner David Stern felt that it would be too cruel for a playoff team to face the Sonics on Christmas Day. All the players on this team would be very depressed if they sacrificed their vacation on Christmas Day and lost miserably.
The Sonics and Yang Jian no longer need the league to deliberately arrange games to increase their exposure. They have seriously affected the balance of the league and should allocate some stars to other teams and other stars.
Yang Jian did not train during the holidays and flew to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with her girlfriends.
He and his friends got together and held a celebrity party, which was attended by Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz, Jon Favreau, Ryan Reynolds and others.
This year everyone has made progress in their careers and had a lot of fun.
Leonardo is no longer depressed. On December 19, "Titanic" was finally released in the United States, gaining a high reputation and good box office results.
"Titanic" performed very well at the box office during its weekend premiere. Although it was not an overwhelming victory, it still caused quite a stir in the film industry. It topped the U.S. movie rankings with a box office of 28.6 million U.S. dollars, beating the latest "Titanic"
007 Tomorrow Never Dies.
Subsequently, "Titanic" did not decline quickly like most newly released movies. On the contrary, the box office showed signs of rising in the new week, quickly exceeding 30 million US dollars.
Leonardo became famous and became the dream lover of countless women.
Two friends benefited from this, namely Tobey Maguire and Ryan Reynolds. They starred together with Leonardo in "Superman", and the entertainment media reported on it even before the trailer was released.
Leonardo's next movie will definitely be a box office hit, no matter what he plays. Leonardo doesn't feel like he's at a loss. He likes the movie very much and said it was an interesting attempt.
The happiest person is the new director Zack Snyder. He was lucky enough to work with Leonardo DiCaprio in his first movie, and it was hard to imagine whether it would become a hit. As long as this movie is a success at the box office, he won't have to worry about no one looking for him in the future.
He was filming.
Of course, the most disappointed person is the producer of "Two-Face". He invited Leonardo to be the starring role and almost succeeded. Now they can't catch up with the popularity of the big ship, and they have lost an opportunity to show their face.
Drew Barrymore has also become popular, and "Scream 2" has also achieved good box office results, which will not be worse than the first one. She is taking over Naomi Watts' "The Ring"
”, both movies are deeply loved by young movie fans.
Both of them have won the title of "Scream Queen", but they are not hostile to each other and regard it as an interesting fate.
Their popularity cannot compare to that of Jennifer Aniston. The popularity of "America's Sweetheart" this year can be said to be lower than that of all actresses, even the big-mouthed Julia Roberts has to be defeated.
While Yang Jian is enjoying the holidays, there are two NBA games on Christmas Day.
The Jazz lost to the Rockets at home 107-116.
Karl Malone made 10 of 15 shots, no free throws, and scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Stockton had 24 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Hornacek had 20 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists.
The three veterans of the Jazz all shot over 50% from the field, and five members of the team scored in double figures. In the end, they still lost.
The Rockets twin towers Olajuwon and Vin Baker scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 24 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists respectively. The Rockets' substitutes also performed very well, with a total of six players in the team scoring in double figures.
Fans were pleasantly surprised to find that many teams scored more points and began to attack and win.
Another game was more lively. Jordan suffered a defeat. The Bulls lost to the Heat at home 82-89.
Jordan's temper became increasingly violent, and he angrily yelled at Steve Kerr, who was shooting continuously from the sidelines. The two looked like they were about to start a fight.
The internal strife in the Bulls has become the biggest sports news on Christmas. Fans all over the world are upset, and President Stern is disappointed. The president does not want to see Jordan retire in such a betrayal way, but Jordan's temper is really intolerable to ordinary people.
When the Bulls won the championship, their teammates could tolerate it for the sake of honor, but now they obviously can't tolerate Jordan. You are also a loser, why don't you respect us? Is the loss all our fault, don't you have any responsibility at all?
The Bulls are different. In a parallel world, they defeated the Heat in this game.
The Bulls lost mainly because the players' mentality was different and their fighting spirit was not as good as before. Rodman's defense was not as serious, and Longley's performance was not as good as that of Heat center Mourning.
Cole went undercover in the game, making 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Jordan thinks Cole is a waste. Aren't you the three-point champion in the Challenger League? You shoot three-pointers. What the hell are you hitting mid-range shots over and over again?
Cole rarely makes three-pointers in tough games. He is used to going undercover in the playoffs and can only perform against weak teams in the regular season.
To put it bluntly, he has no strength and is a person who relies on luck to play. Without good teammates to lead him, he can't do anything and can't create opportunities by himself. He is not only a trash player, but he also relies on luck as a coach and needs good players.
Take him with you, his specialty is vampire star.
After Yang Jian was born, Cole was no longer a lucky person in this league. He did not have a championship ring. People only saw his undercover performance on the court again and again. No one touted him as an important championship piece.
Already.
The effect cannot be reflected by data? If a pitcher can't score goals or guard people, he has a useless effect?!
After Yang Jian read the news, he doubted whether Cole could still be a coach after retiring. If a person has no bright spots as a player and has not shown outstanding golf intelligence, who will believe that he has the potential to become a coach?
With Cole's qualities, no team may be willing to sign him after leaving the Bulls...
