After playing the Cavaliers, Sam Vincent moved their opponents to the table for the next game.
"In the next game, our opponents are in very, very hot..."
Sam Vincent paused for a second and kept his hands closed. He wanted to see how many people in the team were paying attention to the team's schedule.
Li Ke rolled his eyes and said in a low voice: "Rocket."
Lao Ai, Lao Sha, and Lao Du were all confused, but when Li Ke mentioned it in a low voice, they immediately realized it.
The team in the best form in the league is not the Lakers and Hornets who compete in various competitions in the West for the first place, nor the league's first, but they have started various rotations at the end of the season and have begun to keep their strength in the playoffs.
But the Rockets, who have never lost since the end of January...
The Rockets are in good shape. After Yao and Macquarie combined to score 12 consecutive victories, Yao Dayao began to miss, but under McGrady's leadership, the role players exploded from time to time, and this succession of winning streak continued.
As of March 13, the Rockets defeated the Hawks away, and their winning streak has reached 20 games.
It is absolutely no exaggeration to say that they are the best team in the league today without adding one of them.
Although the Bobcats have already won eight consecutive victories after defeating the Cavaliers, they are still far behind the Rockets.
The Houston Chronicle reported that the Rockets defeated the Hawks away and won their 20th straight win, creating history.
They are the third team in NBA history to win 20 games and more in regular season. The first two are traced back to the 70-71 season led by Jabbar and Oscar Robertson. That season, they won 20 games in a row.
And Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain's Lakers in the 71-72 season...
The Lakers are also the keeper of the NBA's historical winning streak. That season, they scored 33 consecutive wins.
The Rockets have won 20 consecutive victories, they have tied Jabbar and the Bucks of O, and have a chance to hit another new high.
When she heard that Li Ke had mentioned the Rockets, Sam Vincent couldn't sell it anymore, but the work of sprinkling chicken soup had just begun.
"That's right, it's the Rockets!"
In the locker room, Sam Vincent shot a tactical board he had prepared: "The Houstonians are in a very hot state. They have achieved 20 consecutive games. Do you know what the concept of 20 consecutive games is? In the history of NBA, 20 consecutive games and more are not counted as them. There are only two consecutive games. The first two times, and the most recent one is in the 71-72 season..."
"So, in the next game, our opponents are making history, and we will have two choices, one is to be part of this history, and the other is to end their history!"
Sam Vincent spread his hands out, as if he wanted to hand over the choice to his players.
But soon, he interrupted his movements: "If I were you, I would never choose to be a part of this history..."
He was very scared, and the team had a brain pump out and said: Hey, Sam, I would choose to be a part of this history, such as the shark's brain pump...
So, he stopped in time and then continued to give the reason why he did not choose to be a part of history:
"The Rockets' next three games are to play, we will play against the Lakers away, and finally fight the Celtics at home..."
"They are in good shape, but they don't have Yao. If we choose to be a part of history, then the Lakers will be the one who ends history, or they are not the Lakers, and they can only be the Celtics."
Then, the old shark's voice rang out loud: "No, we are the one who ended history!"
"Yes, we don't be part of history, we only be the endors of history!"
Li Ke added, and then Lao Ai also clenched his fists and shouted with the remaining teammates: "End the Rockets' winning streak!!"
Although Sam Vincent is a rookie coach, Boss Qiao is in charge, and with his chicken soup level, this lynx with many thorns and star players is really taken by him.
In fact, after playing for most of the season with Sam Vincent, Li Ke likes Sam Vincent very much.
Although this rookie bishop often acts clumsy and has no spirituality, and has arranged troops and has a very formulaic tactical arrangement.
But the advantage of a rookie coach is that he is not authoritative, can face himself and tolerate some mistakes made by players.
Even in the game against the Lakers, Li Ke grabbed the tactical board, and Sam Vincent didn't resist at all.
At this time, Li Ke understood Lebang very well. A coach like McBrown and Tyron Lue was really suitable for him. If it were Spole, who had Pat Riley's support, David Blatt, who had a high opinion of himself, all kinds of tricks came immediately.
"It's better to be a rookie coach, Lebang is so right!"
What impressed Li Ke with the Rockets was that not long ago, he sighed that his little butterfly had not flapped his wings enough, and even the Rockets' 22 consecutive wins were staged as promised.
How can this historical line change the meaning?
Now, fate immediately gave Li Ke the opportunity to directly change history.
The Rockets' 22 consecutive wins? It is indeed a beautiful memory for domestic fans.
But Li Ke feels that there is no difference between 20 consecutive victories and 22 consecutive victories. If it is Li Ke who ends the winning streak, not the Lakers or the Celtics, this memory should be even better.
...
When he arrived in Charlotte, McGrady came with a revenge mentality, but he was not so confident.
Although the Rockets have won 20 consecutive games, although the outside world has already praised the Rockets, and although everyone thinks that the Rockets are in excellent condition.
But his family knows his own affairs, and McGrady knows very well that the Rockets can no longer continue to win in this way.
Every time they continue their winning streak, it is a torment for them.
Before the game, they have to worry about whether their winning streak can continue, and when they really win another game, after the game, they have to worry about their next opponent.
Despite the torment, McGrady still listed the game in front of him as one of the games that must be won.
At least, winning streak cannot be stopped at the number 20.
At the Time Warner Center, more than 19,000 seats were filled again.
The main reason is that the promotion was done well before the game. Charlotte's local podcast program reviewed the Rockets' 20 consecutive wins before the game. It was just a matter of saying that this game without the national live broadcast was actually a highlight.
"Can the Bobcats stop them from moving forward in the face of the Houston Rockets with a 20-game winning streak?"
The highlights were thrown at the end of the podcast, and then Charlotte fans bought tickets and quickly filled the Time Warner Center.
In the locker room, the chicken soup had been sprinkled. Sam Vincent just briefly arranged the troops and arranged the tactics, and then briefly told his players:
"Remember our goal? Yes, at our home court, end this Houston Rockets that are making history!"
Then there was a wolf screaming, and almost everyone shouted to become a Terminator.
On the stadium, Li Ke did not see Yao.
He also paid attention to Yao Yao's injuries, mostly focusing on his legs, and now he is still minor injuries.
After the 04-05 season, Yao Yao had to miss more than ten or even twenty games every season.
It is not easy for a big man who is 2.26 meters tall to perform such an outstanding performance in the NBA.
As a result, both Jeff Van Gundy and Rick Adelman now demanded that Yao Da bet gain weight.
It’s okay to gain weight, but after gaining weight, I have to fuck Da Yao hard in the regular season...
Fan Baldy is actually fine, she is not considered a fierce fight with Yao. The season with the most playing time per game is only a little over 34 minutes.
This season, Adelman took over, and Yao's playing time has soared to more than 37 minutes.
In fact, what Li Ke really wants to say is that in the regular season, Yao Yao also has to learn from the old shark and take a slut.
"Next time I meet Dayao, let me tell him a few words..."
He sighed inwardly and Li Ke met McGrady on the sidelines.
The 20-game winning streak brought McGrady's confidence out. He was so hot that he was no longer sleepy.
Before the game started, I held Li Ke's hand: "Will your opponent be me in this game?"
"certainly!"
Without Yao, the Rockets' arrows were the only one left McGrady.
Sam Vincent was relieved to hand over McGrady to Li Ke, and even felt that it should not be difficult to end the Rockets' record of setting a historical record.
As the starting players of the two teams line up around the middle circle, the game is approaching.
"The game is about to begin, look at the starting lineups on both sides, the Bobcats, center O'Neal, power forward Humphries, small forward Gerald Wallace, shooting guard Li Ke, point guard Iverson..."
"On the Rockets, Yao Dayi is absent, and the center can only be Mutombo, power forward Scola, small forward Bathier, shooting guard McGrath, and point guard Alstom."
Yangwu broadcast the game, but obviously, the broadcast was booked in advance. They did not expect that Yao Yao would be injured at the critical moment of the playoffs, and he missed the game that was originally a Chinese derby, and Yao Yao didn't even come to the scene.
Of course, what they didn't expect was that even without Yao, the Rockets still won consecutive victories. By the time they hit the Bobcats, they had already won 20 consecutive victories.
So there is still a domestic popularity in this game.
"The Rockets have won 20 consecutive games. It depends on whether the Bobcats led by Li Ke can stop them from continuing to win in a row..."
Yu Jia briefly described the biggest highlight of this game and said something very realistic, Yu Jia or Coach Zhang, or even hoped that the Rockets would lose.
Without Yaoyao, the Rockets won a row of victories, Yao Hei in China has already used this to deny Yaoyao's role in the Rockets.
If the Rockets lose, some of the problems when Yao Yao is away will be exposed, and their denial of Yao Yao can stop.
Of course, another reason why they hope the Rockets will lose this game is that Yao Dayu is not there, but Li Ke is there. Whether it is Yu Jia or Coach Zhang, they hope that Li Ke can win.
