Chapter 282 291: Alternative Chinese Derby

"L.A. won, they came close to winning the game at home, they broke the record, they became the creators of the second longest winning streak in history."

"Perhaps the record of 33 consecutive victories is not far away. The important thing is that the Los Angeles Lakers once again showed the demeanor of the king. The behemoth in history, the most glorious behemoth in history, has once again awakened. The rule of the Zijin Dynasty will come again."

21 consecutive victories, creating a small history.The Los Angeles Lakers broke the winning streak set by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 25 years ago when he was with the Milwaukee Bucks.He was sitting at the scene today, he was in the first row of the auditorium, his eyes were a little moist at the moment when the Lakers won, those scenes from that year seemed to appear in front of his eyes again.

And the entire Staples Center erupted like a volcano at this moment. The ground was shaking and the sky was shaking. record of.

Qin Tao stood in the middle circle, raised his hands high, he wanted to roar, even though he denied caring about this kind of history and records time and time before, but when the record came, he felt an urge to cry .

None of the fans at the scene left, they raised their hands high and swayed wildly. Today they are completely excited, winning 21 consecutive victories, which is even more satisfying than winning the championship.The Los Angeles Lakers have won 14 championships, but they have won more than 21 consecutive victories only once in their history.What happened tonight is rarer than winning the championship. In the history of the league, the teams that have achieved super long winning streaks at the beginning of the game have basically won the championship. Does everything today herald the birth of a king in June? ?

Qin Tao stood in the middle circle, surrounded by Lakers players. Although they didn't win the championship tonight, what they gained was history.Los Angeles TV immediately handed over the microphone, and whenever history is made, it is the moment of speech.His hand holding the microphone trembled slightly, and he tried his best to control his voice.

"I am very happy that we can win at home today, but this is only the first step for us to conquer this league. The next step is to win the championship, then defend the championship, and then defend the championship." After he finished speaking, he handed the microphone to the The host then left the scene, waving at the fans as he walked, and he was rewarded with cheers from the fans.

Back in the locker room, Qin Tao stopped those players who wanted to continue the carnival. He said: "We are not the champions yet, so if you want to play today, just go! Don't care about the record, what we need is the champion. Even if the next game It’s no big deal if you lose the game, just one record is enough, there’s no difference between 22 games and 21 games.” At this time, he still didn’t believe that the record created by the Lakers would be easily broken, but the controller couldn’t predict the future, unfortunately. Otherwise, he would definitely not think so.

At this moment, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar walked into the locker room, his eye circles still a little red. "Congratulations Chin, you've once again put your stamp on league records, the stamp of the Los Angeles Lakers."

"Oh! It's a pity that we broke the record you created." Qin Tao restrained his emotions and said.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shrugged, and said: "Isn't the record just for people to break? Although I have long thought that this record will be broken one day, I didn't expect it to be so soon. In fact, the most unexpected thing for me is that in a Two years later, the Los Angeles Lakers will have a 33-game winning streak and break the record of 20 consecutive victories, which was the longest in the league at the time, and now you have made this second become the third."

"Aren't you from Los Angeles too, a Los Angeles fan?"

"It's just that today reminds me of too many things from the past, alas! It's easy to recall the past when you get old, it's no longer possible." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sighed.

Qin Tao looked at Kareem Abdul-Jabbar who was sighing, and felt a little embarrassed. The evergreen tree who dominated the league for 20 years will eventually grow old one day, and the sky hook's stunt will never appear in the NBA again. "I'll buy you a drink tonight, I'm going to the press conference first."

"Hey! This is my chance for revenge." Kareem Abdul-Jabbar smiled sinisterly.

Qin Tao shrugged and walked out of the dressing room.In the press room, Qin Tao hardly saw reporters from Washington, but he saw many reporters from Houston and China.Most of these people came here to interview the Chinese Derby the day after tomorrow.But today he didn't intend to say anything more, it was enough to praise Yao Ming and speak some nice Mandarin.

At the press conference, Coach Qin once again left early without any suspense.However, before he left, he promised to give a systematic answer to the questions about the Chinese Derby before the start of the game the day after tomorrow. Originally, the reporter did not plan to keep him. With his words, the reporter did not even complain.

After disbanding the team, Qin Tao and Kareem came to Bill's bar.Only then did Qin Tao know that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is also a frequent visitor here!

The two of them sat in a corner of the bar, surrounded by fans who were discussing the Lakers' victory today.From time to time, some fans came up to chat with them, and words such as congratulations were no longer rare.The people here are all loyal fans of the Lakers, and they are naturally ecstatic that the Lakers can win 21 consecutive victories.At this time, the sound of fireworks has already appeared on the street.

Dazzling fireworks exploded over the City of Angels, and countless fans cheered on the street. In the past, fans would only celebrate like this after winning the championship, but today they moved out a celebration ceremony of the same scale in advance.The all-night carnival lasted until the early hours of the next day. Today's Los Angeles Lakers fans are as happy as Christmas.

Qin Tao chatted with Jabbar again for about two hours and less than one o'clock, and Tian Yu was still awake when he came home.As soon as he entered the door, he saw a petite figure rushing towards him.

"Hee hee, Tao, congratulations on making history!" Tian Yu said with a smile.

"It's just a small record! There will be more awesome records in the future." Qin Tao said arrogantly in a good mood.

"Cut, stop bragging. Let's talk about winning this season's championship first!" Tian Yu said with a frown.

"It's just a champion, Xiaocai, what else in this league can't you do?" Qin Tao's skill at pretending to be 13 is really good.

"Then! Let's celebrate!" Tian Yu said as he handed over a glass of champagne.

Qin Tao took out the wine glass and said, "You feed me?" He blinked wickedly.

"Go, wait until when you marry me."

The wine glass slowly emptied, and Tian Yu's face became even more lovely with a blush after drinking.Sitting on the balcony, they chatted for an unknown amount of time. Qin Tao felt that today might be the happiest day since he lost to the San Antonio Spurs last season.Records and history, beauty and marriage seemed to rush into his heart at the same time on this day.

An extremely beautiful night for the city of Los Angeles has passed, and Qin Tao and his Lakers will face new challenges.They have passed one of the ghost gates designed by the media for the Lakers, but that is only the smallest hurdle. Next, they will face the Houston Rockets, which has the league's top insiders and super scorers.If Yao and Mai work together at the same time, there are not many teams in the league that can withstand the firepower of the Houstonians. Besides, the Rockets really restrain the Lakers in terms of style of play.

First of all, their defense is not bad, and secondly, their players' personal offensive power is very strong.Moreover, when facing the Los Angeles Lakers, which has won 21 consecutive victories, any team in the league will use all its strength to deal with it, and even use 120% of its strength to deal with it. One word - difficult!It is even more difficult for them to continue to pass the next two hurdles and reach a 33-game winning streak.

The game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets is definitely no less than the Christmas game. First of all, it is big news for the Lakers, who have won 21 consecutive victories, to meet any team.Secondly, Chinese head coach Qin Tao's influence in the United States may have surpassed that of Yao Ming, which has a lot to do with his personality.The other is the head of the Houston Rockets center - Chinese Yao Ming.

Moreover, according to the Chinese media, the two people are still from the same city in China—the Huangpu River on the other side of the ocean, the most dazzling pearl in the East—Shanghai.Although Qin Tao is not a native Shanghainese, he can still be considered a Shanghainese, and under the hype of the media, his whole family has become a Shanghainese.

The topic of the Chinese derby may be the most concerned about by the Chinese media, and what makes the American media related is the duel between the other two.The two most thriving killers in the league - Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady duel.Kobe's offensive desire and personal ability this season have been recognized by everyone, and Tracy McGrady's killer nature has not changed. Maybe tomorrow night at Staples will be another battle of points.Unconsciously, people will compare tomorrow's game with the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Philadelphia 76ers. Perhaps this will be an even more exciting game than the Los Angeles vs. Philadelphia game!

Speaking of which, Qin Tao and Yao Ming have never communicated with each other. As the best Chinese in the NBA, they have never communicated with each other. This is simply impossible in the eyes of the American fans.But the Chinese media more or less understand some of the reasons, but they didn't say it out.

When the Los Angeles Lakers finished training that day, Qin Tao received a call from Zhao Chen.

"So punctual?" Qin Tao picked up his phone and said with a smile, "I just disbanded the team and returned to the office, when your call came."

"Coincidence! We just finished interviewing Yao Ming. How about it? Now is the time to fulfill your promise. Where are you going to invite us to dinner?"

"Are you in the hotel now? Wait for me to go, what are your eating habits in the United States these days? I will take you to eat Chinese food! This is the most authentic Chinese food I have ever eaten in the United States!"

"Haha! Alright, we'll wait for you here, hurry up, I've been interviewing for a day, and I'm starving to death."

"Wait."
