Chapter 222: The second winning streak frenzy

The Kings' winning streak has attracted the attention of teams across the league. You should know that the Kings had just completed 27 consecutive victories in a single season last season. After just one year, the Kings actually made a 20+ win streak. Of course, this is also Zhang Weifeng's second 20+ win streak in the Kings era. Many people are very curious about how far the Kings can expand this winning streak. At the same time, the teams across the league have also begun to regard the Kings as a thorn in their eyes. They began to urgently hope to give the Kings a defeat to end the Kings' winning streak.

After February, the Kings' opponents were a little difficult to play, but some people still hope that they could survive.

In the first game in February, the Kings faced their first game with last year's playoff opponent Nuggets. The Nuggets now have a lot of resentment towards the Kings, so when the Kings came to Denver home court, they were immediately booed by fans, and the Devil's advantage at home was revealed. However, during the 20-game winning streak, the Kings had already developed a kind of tough character. Although they seemed passive in the first half of the away game, they gradually adapted to the pressure of the home court. The Kings made a series of offensives and then maintained the lead in the last half of the game. In the end, they defeated the Nuggets with 112:109.

After the victory of this game, the Kings won 21 consecutive victories, and then they returned to their home court to play, and this time their opponent was a heavyweight opponent, the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs are a very competitive team in any season, and they are always worthy of attention from their opponents. This game is a game that both teams value more. Before this game, the Spurs won 27 wins and 19 losses, while the Kings' record gradually became 33 wins and 14 losses under the strong 21 consecutive wins, and their record rankings have also increased repeatedly. They have become second in the Western Conference, second only to the Lakers.

The two teams played relatively smoothly. The focus match between Zhang Weifeng and Duncan is still the most important highlight of the league. However, the two players' style of playing in the game has a feeling of heroes cherishing heroes. This season, the Spurs began to assist in coaching to reduce their inside offenses, and **Vic's tactical arrangements also began to use the players' shooting ability more. Therefore, the Spurs still encountered many difficulties this season. As for the Kings, after they had the difficulties at the beginning of the season, Iguodala has now completely integrated into the team. At this time, they are completely an unbeaten team. A team without weaknesses. The Kings could already suppress the Spurs in the inside, but now they have been strengthened on the outside, the Kings finally became a powerful team, so they fought with the Spurs. The Kings did not seem so passive.

However, in this critical game, the Kings players didn't know if they felt bad because of long-term battles and the fatigue of winning streaks. The Kings' three-point shooting percentage on the outside was only 6 of 21. Fortunately, the Spurs were defended on the offensive efficiency was not particularly high, so the two teams were also very stalemate in this game. With one minute left, Iguodala made a crucial three-pointer and finally determined the basis for the Kings' victory.

After defeating the Spurs at 96:89, the Kings expanded the winning streak to 22 times. The 22 winning streak is also the second time that the Kings, that is, the Rockets, completed 22 consecutive victories. It is worth mentioning that these two winning streaks were completed by the Kings.

Afterwards, the Kings played against the Suns at home and defeated the Raptors away from home. However, the game against the Knicks surprised everyone. The Kings were suppressed by the weak Knicks throughout the game, and they were still 3 points behind in 1.7 seconds before the end of the game. At this time, almost everyone thought that the Kings would stop at the 24-game winning streak. However, it was at this time that Zhang Weifeng completed the key three-pointer, which was a very obvious foul. Of course, being able to seize the opportunity by the opponent with 1.7 seconds left in the game created a very obvious 2+1 that had to be blown by the Knicks head coach at that time.

He was furious. He was simply incredible. His players made such a mistake at this time. Of course, this can also show how big and domineering Zhang Weifeng was able to stroll to 2+1 at a critical moment. In a farce game, Zhang Weifeng scored a penalty goal when the game time was over, and then dragged the game into overtime. After this magical and incredible equalization, the Knicks obviously lost the mentality of maintaining a game. In the end, the Kings made a concerted effort and threw three three-pointers in three minutes before the overtime game, defeating the Knicks in one fell swoop.

The 25-game winning streak is very difficult, but the Kings don’t have much time to breathe. They must adjust their mentality quickly and focus on the subsequent games. This is a God-given victory. The Kings successfully approached the 27 consecutive wins they created last season, so at this time, the Kings also wanted to break the team history winning streak record of last season this season. So, everyone was full of fighting spirit at this time.

After the Knicks, the Kings need to face the last opponent of the three consecutive away games, the Detroit Pistons. By the 2009-2010 season, the Pistons' glory has completely become history. It turns out that the Pistons' five tigers were only Prince and Hamilton and Ben Wallace who wandered around for a while and returned to Detroit again. Moreover, the three people's abilities are far inferior to those before. They are all old and have no ability to become a powerful Eastern Conference. The Pistons, whose things change, are of course not the Kings' opponent. In this game, the Kings played very proactively from the beginning, Zhang Weifeng and

Randy Ferry triggered a wave of attacks inside and outside, and the Kings played very seriously. They took out championship-level defense from the beginning. At the end of the half-time game, they led the Pistons by 32 points at 70:38! The game lost the suspense early. Zhang Weifeng and other main players were replaced by Seyus to sit on the bench after only half of the third quarter. The Kings who came up also performed wonderfully at all times. In the end, the Kings defeated their opponents 51 points with a score of 131:80, which is also the biggest victory so far this season.

After 26 consecutive victories, the Kings have become the focus of the whole United States. They are only one win-win gap from the 27 consecutive victories last season. However, this gap is very, very large in people's opinion. This is probably a preview of this year's finals. It can be expected that this game will definitely be more intense than the finals.

The Celtics, who failed in the finals twice, are now a tragic team in the league. Their lineup is indeed very strong, but in two years, the original intention of the three giants gathered has not been achieved. Therefore, they resent the Kings, and began their grudges and conflicts with the Kings just like hating the Lakers. From any perspective, the Celtics will not say that the Kings will win the victory, and they will not let the Kings win another 27 consecutive wins. Therefore, in this game, the final master is still the Celtics.

The Big Three may be older, but it is undeniable that they are more mature and more efficient on the court. The Big Three this season can contribute 58.8 points per game, and they are still the backbone of this Celtics. However, the Celtics are gradually like Rondo's team. This season, Rondo has made another leap forward. He can contribute 18.8 points, 12.4 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.9 steals per game. Under this performance, Rondo's potential has been revealed, and Danny Angie is also intending to start cultivating Rondo's position in the Celtics. Judging from this season, Rondo will soon be the leader of the Celtics. The Celtics' hope is obviously placed on the Big Three + Rondo, who are still strong.

In this game, both sides seemed full of gunpowder at the beginning. Crawford blew three technical fouls in the first quarter. When the first half of the game was played, Perkins was already called out. Seeing these scenes, many people suddenly had the illusion that this was the final that was not completed last year? It is obvious that the gunpowder of the two teams did continue to last season's finals, and they also played a game where both offense and defense were considered the finals.

The biggest highlight of this game is still Zhang Weifeng. Many people have found that he can always play very wonderful performances in any game against the Celtics. It seems that the Celtics' defensive tactics always play a small role in him. In fact, the reason is very simple. Zhang Weifeng played with the Celtics for 10 years in his previous life. During that decade, he knew everything about the Celtics, so even if he is playing against the Celtics now, there is no pressure because he is familiar with the Celtics' defensive traditions and some unique tactics.
