Chapter 1437 Undefeated in 60 games, two battles with cosmic bravery

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers had established an 18-point lead. Although Westbrook was still struggling, he had played too long tonight. Physical fitness will drop sharply after reaching the back.He has been promoted to a super scorer this season, and he is also the current season's scoring leaderboard.But still the same sentence, once the physical fitness is not enough, even Jordan will have to kneel much more.The miraculous performance of the mind surpassing the body, Qiao Shen is bound to be more than others, but not every game can be done.

And you can also clearly see that after Westbrook's physical fitness is not enough, it is no longer so difficult to defend him. Speed ​​and explosive power, including confrontation, are all declining visible to the naked eye.Rondo alone can defend it better now.Even if Westbrook is furious about this question now, it is useless.He has reached the point of physical shortage, and the further he plays, the more unstable he becomes.

No, his shooting percentage was pretty good before. After the fourth quarter, he hit 6 irons in a row, which directly lowered his shooting percentage.This makes Westbrook fans a little sad.After Tang potential score led to 25 points, he went down. So far in this game, he has got a quasi-quadruple-double data, 4 points, 39 rebounds, 28 blocks and 7 assists, plus a score of more than 8%. The hit rate easily helped the Lakers have the last laugh.Although the Thunder has been resisting, but the gap in strength is too great, and Westbrook did not win the ace core matchup, so losing is inevitable.

Amid the cheers at the Staples Center, the Lakers finally won the game with 108 points, 90-18.

Tang Qian, who scored 39 points, 28 rebounds, 7 blocks and 8 assists, became the undisputed player of the game tonight. The statistics of the rest are as follows. Butler only took 13 shots tonight to get it With 20 points and only 2 free throws, he made 13 of 9 shots. From this point of view, he is actually the one with the highest shooting percentage on the Lakers tonight.The shooting percentage reached 69.2%.Achieved 20+3+3+1+1 data.Since he picked up his shooting skills package, he has started to play efficiently in the Lakers, because he gradually discovered that in the Zijin Army, he does not need too many breakthroughs and singles. If he wants to be efficient, he only needs to shoot well. .Recently, he has begun to understand this pattern more and more, and his efficiency has become more and more superb.

In this way, less shots and possessions are taken up, the efficiency is high, and the outside world also praises it, so why not do it?
The defense can also continue to work hard, and it will not be loose because of too much investment in the offensive end.

The rest were Randall, Nick Young, and Lance Stephenson who scored in double figures.

What about the Thunder?Except that Westbrook got another triple-double, 34+10+13+2+1 data, and it was the last garbage time. Kanter was very smart and scored 18 points in a row, but it was meaningless.The only other player who scored in double figures was Victor Oladipo.The Thunder started in the middle and late part of the last quarter. Because Westbrook was weak, the whole system was in a mess. In just over six minutes, they made as many as 10 turnovers. Fortunately, the Lakers were playing as a substitute at that time. , so it was not directly blown up.Only lost 18 points.

In this era, there is only one team with a score below three digits, and the rest are all over 110, with 5-6 teams exceeding 115+, and 2 teams exceeding 90+.Except for the Los Angeles Lakers, there are not many who can keep the opponent's scoring below 88%.Add up to three, the Lakers, Spurs, and Jazz. The Jazz seem to be a little awakened this year. It is also possible to see this momentum enter the upper zone.They're all Western Conference powerhouses.Among them, the Lakers are the most terrifying. They are the only team that suppressed the opponent team's score below 89 points.The average is about [-]~[-] points per game.

Don't look at this data as if it is not as good as the Pistons back then, but you have to look at the difference between the number of rounds in this era and the number of rounds in that era for the Pistons.I don't know how much soon.Coupled with the popularity of three-pointers, the soaring scoring average is inevitable.For example, in that era, only 2 teams could average 100+ per game, what about now?Only one team failed to average [-] points per game.Think about how much faster the pace is.

And that year, the Pistons only scored 90.1 points in the regular season and conceded 84+ points. The net difference is not that exaggerated.What about the Lakers?The average per game is currently about 105 points, ranking near the middle of the league. For a team like theirs, not only is it not bad, but it is considered an excellent average.Calculate the net difference in this way, how much is the average per game?
It's all 16~17 points. If we work harder, it's really not impossible, and finally reach a net difference of 20 points per game.

That would be terrible.Basically, looking at the season, it's all "garbage time".

The match came to a close on Bill McDonald's "60-in-a-row" run.

Indeed, counting last year's 45 consecutive victories and winning the championship, so far this season has 15 consecutive victories, just right, 60 games unbeaten.This record is very strong, but in the history of North American sports, there are still stronger ones, so I will not mention this for the time being.Anyway, 60 unbeaten games have made the Lakers more and more on the cusp.

More and more teams want to defeat them to prove their own strength, or to show off their presence.

Just when people were discussing how long the Lakers can last this record, the next game, back to back, made many people start to look down on the Lakers.Because the opponents in this back-to-back game are... Cosmic Warriors, the Golden State Warriors.

And, it's still an away game.This will bring some trouble to the physical fitness test of the Lakers.

The Warriors' current record is 12 wins and 2 losses, second in the Western Conference and second in the league, second only to the Los Angeles Lakers.It can be seen that after the running-in and adjustment at the beginning of the season, this four-star team has gradually started to get on the right track.These few games were all victories in the massacre way.For example, in the previous game, nearly 40 points killed the Pacers, 30 points killed the Bucks, and 25 points killed the Celtics.Interestingly, their scores in these games have always been on the rise.

From 125 to 129 to 135 points, the four-star warriors who slowly played a chemical reaction began to truly show the power of "cosmic bravery".So before this game, the Warriors made up their minds to give the Lakers a good look.Take revenge for what happened a few weeks ago.

The scary thing is that the two games between the Lakers and the Warriors are still connected.

After playing the Warriors back to back today, I returned to the Staples Center 2 days later to continue fighting the Warriors again.

The intensity and topicality are very interesting, and the alliance is also very cooperative, and has begun to build a lot of momentum to promote these two major events.

"I know the Lakers are strong and undefeated, but I want to say, okay, they can stop and rest."

"We are already different from the beginning of the season. I hope the Lakers will not be vulnerable."

"We are ready to kill two games in a row. These two games are more meaningful to us than the previous ten or so games."

"Lake Destroyer? Break your opponent's 60-match unbeaten streak? Why not?"

From the players to the head coach, it seems that this is the feeling. It feels that the Warriors came to fight the Lakers for 2 games in a row this time, and they came here to collect heads.He just came here to avenge his revenge.No other ideas at all.After the running-in state became better, they all felt that they could beat any team in the league.Even the Lakers are the same.

Tang Qian naturally wanted to speak when he heard this, and said:

Let's wait until you win, we're pretty good at winning at Oracle Arena.

Durant?He is very strong, he is an excellent second-in-command, I think he has indeed strengthened the Warriors to a great extent, there is nothing wrong with this.

We will not be afraid, what we have to do is to continue the winning streak, they have nothing to fear, and now we are number one in the league, not the Warriors.

Butler also imitated Tang Qian's tone, and said with a force: I remember that they haven't defeated us since March this year.

It seems that after staying in a strong team for a long time, the mentality is also different. Now Butler has a feeling in his mind. Our goal every season is only to win the championship.That's all.The rest are meaningless.This kind of championship team also meets Butler's personal requirements.He doesn't want to hang around in a soy sauce team.No matter how much money you give him, he won't do it.

Well, well, unless the price can go against the sky, that's about the same.However, NBA contracts have limits, so it's hard to say.The Lakers also know the market very well. They saw Butler signed a relatively long contract. Although both parties were willing at the time, Butler couldn't figure out the future, so he urgently asked for a stable long-term contract.Belonging is one willing to fight and one willing to suffer.But after all, it is still the era of contract explosion, so the Lakers quoted the compensation method that the Bulls gave Pippen back then. First, they bought Butler a car worth several million dollars, and then helped him buy a few dollars. Millions of insurance.And made a promise that when the next contract is issued, Butler must be given a maximum salary.

This made Butler feel a lot more comfortable mentally, and it was all done by the Lakers on their own initiative. In this regard, the Lakers really did a good job.Of course, the team also has its own considerations. First of all, these compensations are not high, adding up to 600 million. Compared with any current maximum salary, it is simply a drop in the bucket, so the management bought a " No bumps", not a loss.Because the Lakers are now one of the seeded teams, and they are also heading for the championship this year, it is a big thing to stabilize the core mood.It is impossible for the Bass family to be unclear about this point after running the Los Angeles Lakers for so long.The second is Butler's age.Butler was born in September 1989, very close to the "post-9s".He was only 90 years old after the contract was executed.Under normal circumstances, it is still a peak period.Asking for another top salary is no problem at all.The Lakers are not at a loss either.Besides, it's just a verbal agreement. If something happens, who can say what will happen in a few years?Anyway, let's stabilize the mentality of the second master first.

This is the cleverness of the Lakers management.

However, it's not that they haven't made a foolish move, I'll talk about that later.

Nick Young also said: How can I remember that we won last time?

Anyway, after several consecutive years of playoffs, these two teams have been entangled in various conflicts and incidents, and they can already be said to be old enemies in the Western District.And anyone with a discerning eye knows that in the next few years, it is estimated that these two teams will fight wildly in the Western District.In that way, it would be strange if there was no anger on both sides.

No one can lose to the Lakers (Warriors), this is one of the internal slogans of these two teams now.

It sounds a little funny, a little bit of anger, but right now the two teams regard each other as imaginary enemies.I even said something that the Eastern teams don't like to hear. The current Lakers and Warriors have never considered the issue of Eastern teams at all.Subconsciously, I feel that after the Western Conference Finals, I am the champion.

Dissatisfied? In the 16-17 season, I really have to accept even if I refuse to accept it, that's how it is.

Tang Qian went out and was about to go to the airport. Taylor kissed him and said, "Get rid of Zha Yong. The Lakers are the strongest and the Lakers are the champion!"

I, I'm dizzy, this chick has learned a set of jokes on the Internet, but it doesn't need to be told by Taylor, Tang Qian will do the same.The Warriors, this season, the regular season is a team that must be dealt with well. It is necessary to find out the opponent's basic style of play, contingency, and general impromptu changes.In the playoffs, the probability of the two teams meeting is definitely not small.

If it is true, it means meeting the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals for 3 consecutive years. It is not an exaggeration to talk about the old enemy of the Western Conference in this era.

Why the Western Conference Finals?As far as the lineup of the Warriors is concerned, Tang Qian doesn't know where they will lose. After running in, the Western Conference Finals should really not be a problem.In that case, how to defeat the Warriors is a big problem.Don't look at the Lakers winning the last game, but actually think about it, there are many chances.First of all, the Warriors did not dispatch an upgraded version of the "five small lineup" or the "dead five small".So it's not a full face.Furthermore, last time they fought the Warriors until the end to decide the outcome.

Relying on Cole's one-handed "show operation", otherwise, it's really hard to say.

In addition, it was still the Warriors who had just started playing official games, and the Lakers took advantage of the team and running-in.The situation may change a bit in this game. After a month of running-in, the Warriors are much better than before, not to mention their prime.Everyone on the Lakers can know this by watching the clips of the Warriors' recent games.

So how to play, how to win, the Lakers don't have a bottom line.

Four stars are shining, and they are all four stars at their peak. This is too disgusting, and with the same top-ranking substitute in the league, it is worthwhile to say cosmic bravery.But in any case, the Lakers are not a weak team. Tang Qian doesn't think that the Warriors will beat him.Half a catty?This depends on the live game tonight.

Tang Qian boarded a chartered flight to Oakland after reuniting with all members of the Lakers.
