One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-One. Miraculous Achievement!
If a recognized "genius who has wasted his talent" admits that he is not a genius, one can imagine the deep setbacks and psychological blows he will suffer.
But the world of competitive sports is so cruel. Maybe these basketball players who come to the top basketball league are the pride of a city or even a country, but among these geniuses, there are still geniuses among geniuses!
In the world of competitive sports, only successful people can be called true geniuses. This genius is different from the genius that ordinary people understand, but a true genius in an industry!
After entering, Sun Ce is also observing the Pistons, which is regarded as one of the most promising teams in the Eastern Conference.
If the most promising team in the West is the Pelicans, then the Pistons are probably the team in the East.
For the Pistons, the starting combination of Jennings, Pope, Caron Butler, Anthony Tolliver, and Drummond is supplemented by Judy Meeks, Jerebko, and Kyle Sheen. Gullah, and a 9-man rotation like Reggie Jackson, who was brought back after the All-Star break with DJ Augustin and a future high-protected first-round pick, plus the talent looks pretty good but it takes time. Spencer Dinwiddie, who was developed slowly, has a very good lineup.
Of course, the Pistons have nothing to do with the top teams competing for the championship. There are only a few teams that have the chance to compete for the championship in a season. Not every team's goal in that season is to win the championship.
And on the contrary, the goal of most teams is not to win the championship. Maybe they will dream about everyone on the team suddenly making crazy progress and winning the championship, but that is just a dream.
Like the Pistons, their goal is to cultivate three young talents: Jennings, Drummond, and Pope. Since Jennings is in his sixth season of his career, he is averaging 19.2 points and 7.5 assists per game this season. It was good, but they were still worried, so they traded Reggie Jackson, who seemed to be a good match for Drummond.
Their goal is to reach a playoff level, then wait for the talented combination of inside and outside to grow up, and try to form a good lineup of role players... This is the Pistons' current goal.
The current progress of the Pistons has made many teams that have been weak for many years extremely envious.
There is no need to worry about a 3D player like Pope not being able to play well. Drummond averaged 15 points, 15.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. He is only in his third year, so he must be considered a good player. As long as one of Jennings and Lightning Jackson can play. At the All-Star level, the Pistons have an All-Star inside and outside combination!
A rebuilt team that can produce two All-Star level players is already the envy of those teams that have been weak for many years.
Pistons head coach and executive president Stan Van Gundy is building a shooting combination around Drummond + a point guard who can shoot and pass.
They did a very good job, the key point is to send Monroe away early, correct Drummond, not as sloppy as in the original time and space, and keep the Twin Towers to celebrate the New Year... Each year is not as good as the last.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the game between the Grizzlies and the Pistons started.
Knowing that he was not as good as Sun Ce, Jennings did not give up. He was a rare two-way fan of Iverson and Kobe. Although his previous playing style was criticized, due to his body shape, he could only imitate Iverson in playing, but he also had Kobe. That kind of mentality is as long as the heart is strong enough, but his strong heart prevents him from being depressed because of this kind of thing, and will only try his best to narrow the gap between him and Sun Ce.
Jennings played hard tonight!
But this season, Jennings is destined to see a team create miracles. The Grizzlies, who are fully prepared and determined to break the record today, will play better than the Pistons. The team still has to fight!
As if the Grizzlies are the team that is treated as a supporting role, the Grizzlies players are even more manic than the Pistons players!
Tonight, Klay Thompson scored 21 points, Paul George scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, Aldridge scored 20 points, Randolph scored 24 points, Carter scored 15 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 19 Points... Sun Ce only scored 10 points tonight. When he clearly knew how hard his teammates worked tonight and the team's advantage, he didn't steal the spotlight from his teammates on such a night, playing for 21 minutes. , scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. After raising his personal score to double digits, Sun Ce went to rest.
In the end, the Grizzlies slaughtered the Pistons 134-98 and won their 11th consecutive victory! Improved the record to 73 wins and 7 losses!
The fans at the scene were cheering all the time, and their voices were almost hoarse. When the referee blew the whistle to end the game and saw that the score was fixed at 134 to 98, the scene erupted into violent cheers again. You can hear it. The fans' throats were really about to break at this moment, and they had turned into hoarse cheers.
But at this moment, the fans who regard the honor of their favorite team as their own cannot care about this. He wants to pay the highest respect to the players of his team who have worked hard for almost the entire season!
When the final buzzer sounded, the players, management, and coaching staff of the Grizzlies rushed to the court and the last remaining players on the court were Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, Al The five Derichs cheered and celebrated.
In such a game, it was garbage time. The Grizzlies replaced the top four starters + Teacher Tony in the last 3 minutes or so. The Pistons did not feel that the opponent was going to humiliate them.
The Pistons players clearly felt that the Grizzlies had gone all out tonight. As professional athletes, they also understood the Grizzlies players' current mood. No one could remain calm after playing such a season and breaking the greatest record in NBA regular season history.
No one cared about the losing Pistons. Jennings walked to the player tunnel after the game. It was not that he couldn't afford to lose. He had lost for many years. It was just that he didn't want to see the other side celebrate. This was his last dignity.
On the other side, Sun Ce sat on the bench and didn't go up to cheer and celebrate with everyone on the team. At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood.
I thought that after breaking the record, I would be very excited, but after breaking it, Sun Ce felt that what emerged in his heart was more satisfaction.
Because after getting 70 wins, he had already begun to imagine this picture, but after this picture really appeared, he found that he enjoyed the cheers of the fans on the scene more.
At this moment, he felt that perhaps the only thing in the world that could truly empathize with strangers was competitive sports!
They strive to win more honors, and the fans fully support them to win more honors. In the end, after completing the common goal, the players and fans feel the same! As for him who completed this goal personally, he felt more satisfied with the support of the fans. They did it!
At this moment, Sun Ce received a system prompt.
"The host has broken the historical record of 72 wins in a single season created by the Chicago Bulls in the 1995-1996 season. The host has completed a miracle-level achievement. Congratulations to the host for receiving the reward: Michael Jordan's characteristic transformation God's skill: God of Basketball (broken version)."
God's skill: God of Basketball (broken version), activation conditions: 1. Win three consecutive championships to establish a dynasty; 2. Win 6 championships. ”
This system prompt scared Sun Ce!
After he was about to break the historical record, he imagined what kind of reward he would get. He estimated that the best reward might be Jordan or Pippen's star experience card in the 95-96 season, and the next level reward might be a random player star experience card of the Bulls in that season.
I didn't expect it to be Jordan's characteristic transformation skill!
Originally, Sun Ce enjoyed the cheers of the fans and the satisfaction of winning 73 wins, and was ready to go on the court to celebrate with the team, but now, he was really stunned!
……
……
"It's time, just this game, let's break the record, I don't want to drag it on."
"Yes, we did it, today, I'm glad you can see us break the record."
"Are you excited? You shouldn't be excited. We work hard and have been working hard for this. We have enjoyed a lot of fun in the process. We have strength, luck and hard work. Breaking the record is the honor we deserve. "
"What do you want to say about completing such an achievement? I want to thank Michael and LeBron. I studied with them last year and the summer before last. They taught me how to get more than 70 wins..."
"..."
"..."
Sun Ce watched the sports channels of major TV stations broadcast Sun Ce's answer to the interview after the Grizzlies won 73 wins, and his teammates revealed that Sun Ce must break the record tonight before the game.
This is an era where the winner takes all. Now everything Sun Ce says is right because they have won 73 games.
When asked if he would rest in the last two games, Coach Hollins said: "No, we won't rest. Many of my players have rested well before. The Pelicans and Thunder may be our opponents in the first and second rounds of the playoffs. Even if we have set a new record, we must play well with them and prepare for the playoffs. "
What Coach Hollins said to the reporter was not a smokescreen like Popovich deliberately did. Sun Ce did not play in the second half of the game against the Pistons. He played for 21 minutes in the first half to help the team lock the victory and then went to rest. He has been discussing the next things with Coach Hollins.
The next morning after the game against the Pistons, the Grizzlies had no time to celebrate. They came to New Orleans and held a team meeting at the hotel.
After the coaching staff analyzed the recent situation of the Pelicans, who may also be the opponent in the first round tomorrow, Paul George, as the team leader, said: "We have broken the historical record now, but that is only the regular season record. After the playoffs start, there is no difference between us getting 73 wins and 63 wins.
But everyone thinks we should win the championship, and the cruelest thing is that if we lose the championship, we will become the biggest laughing stock! "
