NBA: Starting with Jokic template

Chapter 164: Breaking the record in front of Danzi. 74-8 to end the regular season! (45)

I don’t know if God has blessed the Thunder’s efforts this season.

The opponents in the last two games are both weak teams in the Eastern Conference.

The Thunder's opponent in the 14st game is the Charlotte Bobcats, ranked th in the Eastern Conference.

The opponent in the 11nd game is the Washington Wizards, ranked th in the Eastern Conference.

Flying to Charlotte.

Lin Chuan suddenly thought of it.

Jordan is still the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

It is also a pleasure to break Jordan's record in front of him.

I just don’t know if Jordan will be angry.

…………

Charlotte.

Bobcats Arena.

The competition started the next day.

But now many media have begun to build momentum.

"In the new century, the Thunder created the best record in history!"

"Break Jordan's single-season winning record in front of him!"

"Focus on the game! Can the Thunder win 73 games?"

Even though the game was not broadcast live.

But there are still many reporters and media who have arrived here waiting for the Thunder's 73rd victory.

There has never been so much media in Charlotte in all these years.

Lin Chuan and others had just landed and as soon as they left the airport they saw many reporters wanting to interview them.

But these requests were all rejected by the team.

The reason is the players are resting.

The next day.

The game has not started yet, but a familiar figure has already sat down on the sidelines.

Michael Jordan.

He was wearing a suit and sitting in the first row on the sidelines.

He is not only the number one in NBA history.

The main figure who promoted the NBA to the world.

He is also the spokesperson for AIR JORDAN.

His current net worth is far ahead of all active and retired NBA players.

He is also the owner of the Charlotte Bobcats.

This time I came here to watch my team's game.

But even his own team.

Whenever he came, he would inevitably cause some noise.

After finally finishing the interview with the reporters and just breathing a sigh of relief, Michael Jordan heard someone calling him from behind.

"Hey! Michael."

Jordan turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards him.

Scottie Pippen.

Pippen walked over two chairs and sat next to Jordan.

Seeing that it was Pippen, Jordan nodded as a response.

"What do you mean today? How do you want to watch your team play against the No. 1 team in the league?"

Jordan shrugged and was about to take out a cigar to smoke, but when he remembered that he was sitting on the sidelines, he put it back into his suit pocket.

"In the 73st game of the season, they could easily win games."

Watching the players training on the field.

Jordan was a little annoyed.

He was really surprised that the record he had set in the past was broken by someone only a dozen years later.

Moreover, it had to be done in front of him and in front of his team.

This is really bad!

Pippen patted Jordan on the shoulder.

"Hey, Michael, relax."

Jordan slapped his hands away.
"That's easy to say."

Pippen was not angry even after being criticized by Jordan.

After all, he knew Jordan's bad temper best.

When Lin Chuan saw the two men, he put down his basketball and walked towards them.

"Hey, Jordan! Pippen!"

Seeing the two of them, Lin Chuan felt in a good mood when he thought about getting 73 wins in front of them later.

Neither of them stood up.

Staring at this youngster who has become very popular recently.

"Don't think you're going to win, kid."

After looking at Lin Chuan for a few times, Jordan squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

"Just sit on the sidelines and watch your record being broken by me, Lao Deng."

Lin Chuan shrugged and said to Jordan with a smile.

Pippen on the side shivered twice in fear.

Jordan had never seen such a provocation in his decades of life.

The veins on Jordan's temples bulged. He resisted the urge to swear and stared at Lin Chuan coldly.

"Let's talk about it after we finish."

Lin Chuan left without a care. The Bobcats didn't have any players who could explode and beat them.

The team is still led by Kemba Walker.

Behind him, Jordan stared at Lin Chuan's back.

That look was scary even to Pippen.

"You better play seriously for me. If you don't play seriously on the court and lose, I will go to the training ground and beat these idiots."

Moments later, Jordan looked at the Hornets players on the court and said something scary.

Pippen, who was standing by, felt sympathy for the Hornets players.

I silently prayed in my heart that they could lose gracefully.

Otherwise, if he lost the game, he would be pinned to the ground and beaten by Jordan in a one-on-one duel, which would be too miserable.

The game starts soon.

Jordan immediately focused, sat up straight and looked at the court.

…………

Halftime ended.

85: 67.

The Thunder lead by 18 points.

Jordan's expression turned grim.

Pippen on the side was a little nervous.

End of the third quarter.

The score is 112:85.

Lin Chuan has already scored a triple-double.

21 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.

Tied Big O's single-season record of 41 triple-doubles.

The vein on Jordan's forehead kept throbbing.

Pippen on the side didn't dare to say a word.

"You bunch of rubbish, just wait..."

Jordan stood up and walked towards the player tunnel.

Pippen already knew what his players were going to face. He looked at the Bobcats players who were not in high spirits and said to himself,
"Shit, these guys have really bad luck."

20 minute later.

The whole game is over.

The Thunder defeated the Bobcats by 32 points.

They also achieved their 73rd win of the season.

This also announced that they officially broke the Bulls' single-season regular season win record.

The day after that.

This is also their last game of the season.

on the plane.

Lin Chuan and Westbrook had a video call with Durant.

"We won even without you."

Westbrook said with a smile.

"It would be strange if we can't win, okay? The Bobcats are very weak."

Durant lay on the hospital bed and smiled.

"I hope you can win the next game and get 74 wins!"

in Washington.

The Thunder are gearing up for the fight.

The last game.

There is no room for error.

If they win this game, they can go one step further!
The Wizards are now led by John Wall and Bradley Beal.

The level is very low.

The ranking reflects their strength.

The game begins.

They were easily defeated by Lin Chuan and Westbrook.

In the first quarter, the two scored a total of 26 points.

Scored higher than the entire opposing team.

In the second quarter, Westbrook showed his strength again and scored five goals in a row against Wall.

Knock him out directly.

The second half.

Lin Chuan replicated Westbrook's playing style and destroyed the inside line composed of Nene and Okafor.

This resulted in a total of 6 fouls for the two players.

The Wizards collapsed instantly.

Less than halfway through the third quarter.

They were already 24 points behind the Thunder.

Struggling to hold on until the end of the festival.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Wizards also surrendered.

Lin Chuan, who got the last assist and achieved his 42nd triple-double, was also substituted out.

At the end of the game, the Thunder defeated the Wizards 112:93.

The Thunder ended their playoff journey with 74 wins and 8 losses!
