Chapter 931 Do You Want To Chase The Best Record In History?
No one knows whether the Thunder will really bite their teeth to chase the best record in league history, because once they do, it basically indicates that it will be difficult for the Big Three to rest at the end of the season, and the risk of injury will increase accordingly .
Compared with last season, the Thunder's Big Three are relatively healthy this season. The tacit understanding of the three is getting better and better, and the team's chemical reaction is also getting better and better. Whether to chase 73 wins or even It is 74 wins, only they know.
When Thunder coach Billy Donovan was interviewed by reporters, when he was asked whether he would pursue the best record in history created by the Warriors, he smiled and said that it is too early to say these things. If you want, it is not ruled out that you will fight for it, but the team will definitely choose the best plan.The team's first goal is the championship!
Donovan's words were not so definite, more like scene words, and it was difficult for reporters to capture effective information, so it was also difficult to get in-depth signals.
But Donovan is right. It is really too early to talk about these things. The season has just passed halfway, the All-Stars have not yet arrived, and the trade deadline has not yet passed. There are too many uncertainties.
On February 2, the NBA officially announced the best players in the East and West in January.DeMar DeRozan of the Toronto Raptors and Xie Kai of the Thunder received the honor respectively.
This is already the third consecutive month that Xie Kai has become the best player of the month in the West. He has won all the best players of the month in the West this season.At present, in the new round of regular season MVP rankings, he also continues to lead, and he is far ahead.
On February 2, the Thunder played away against the Nuggets.
In this game, both teams had extremely high offensive efficiency. Xie Kai scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. He led the team to a narrow victory over the opponent and refused to lose streak!
This is already the 25th triple-double of Xie Kai's NBA regular season career. As a player whose usage rate is not that scary, his triple-double makes people feel that there is no sign of brushing.
The next day, the Thunder returned to their home court to play the Pelicans back-to-back.
In this game, Xie Kai scored a game-high 41 points, leading the team to defeat the opponent and usher in two consecutive victories.
On February 2, the Thunder played against the Lakers at home.In this game, the Thunder team scored in double figures with 5 players and easily slaughtered their opponents, ushering in a 6-game winning streak.
After 3 consecutive victories, the Thunder's record came to 48 wins and 6 losses, continuing to rank first in the league.
On February 2, the Thunder played against the Warriors at the Oracle Center in Oakland.
Both sides have sent superstars to the field. This game has received a lot of attention, and it can be regarded as the focus of the battle in recent times.
Both Durant and Curry, the core players of the Warriors this season, have been injured, so their current record has declined compared with the previous two seasons, ranking third in the West after the Thunder and Rockets.
In this game, from the very beginning of the game, the Thunder team, which has been in excellent form recently, took the initiative. Pickled peppers felt very good, and their hands were so hot that they scored 4 and 3 points in the first quarter and scored 15 points.
Xie Kai's performance is also excellent, with offense, rebounds, and assists, making it hard to guard against.
The Thunder took the lead and finally defeated their opponents, ushering in 4 consecutive victories.
Pickle scored a game-high 38 points, while Xie Kai scored a triple-double with 29 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists.
The Thunder are currently showing their superiority against potential championship competitors, leaving those teams somewhat desperate.
Thank you for evolving!This is the consensus of all.It's unbelievable to be progressing at this stage of your career.
On February 2, the Thunder beat the Lakers in an away game, ushering in a 9-game winning streak. After five consecutive victories, they became the first team in the league to win 5 games.
Three days later, they beat the Grizzlies at home and ushered in a 3-game winning streak.
On Valentine's Day, February 2, the Thunder narrowly lost to the Cavaliers at home and missed their 14-game winning streak.
The Cavaliers made big moves before the trade deadline. They sent Wade back to the Heat, Rose to the Timberwolves, Thomas Jr. to the Lakers, and Crowder to the Jazz.They got Clarkson and Nance Jr. from the Lakers, Hood and Jiao Zhixi from the Jazz.
It can be said that the Cavaliers have become the most changed team among the championship teams.
With such an adjustment, the Cavaliers' athletic ability and average age have decreased, and the lineup has become more reasonable, but relatively speaking, the team's upper limit of talent has decreased, making their chances of winning the championship even lower.But for them, the team's locker room is a mess. If it doesn't change, it will definitely die. If it changes, at least there is a glimmer of life.
This game is a good example. The Cavaliers' defensive lineup has become very active, and the energy of the players is bursting, but it has given the drowsy defending champion a blow.
The Thunder did not make any moves before the trade deadline. Their management is very satisfied with the team's current lineup. Their only hidden danger is actually the health of the players.As long as the players are healthy, they will be a nightmare for other opponents in the playoffs.
After the loss of this game, the Thunder's record came to 51 wins and 7 losses, continuing to retain the possibility of surpassing the Warriors to 73 wins.
On February 2th, in the last game before the All-Star break, the Thunder defeated Xie Kai's old club Grizzlies in an away game, refusing to lose streak.
After this game, their record came to 52 wins and 7 losses, continuing to rank first in the league, and they are still the only team in the league that has not lost in a row.
The All-Star weekend is a good rest period in the NBA's long regular season. During this period, each team can adjust and accumulate energy for the second half of the game.
This All-Star Game is held at the Staples in Los Angeles. For Los Angeles K honeys, this is a great opportunity to get close to their idols.
As the city with the largest number of K honey in the United States, Los Angeles is the headquarters of the National K Honey Club.The president, Chen Guixiang, often carries out offline activities here, and she has become a well-known Chinese in California.
The Lakers have been rebuilding, and since the Clippers traded away Paul, they have also entered the post-"Lob City" era, which is similar to rebuilding.Both teams are under the banner of Xie Kai's hometown, intentionally or unintentionally recruiting from him again.
In today's league, it is simply impossible for no superstar to win the championship.
It is a good thing for Xie Kai to hold the All-Star Game in Los Angeles, he can live at home.It is also a good thing for the other two giants of the Thunder, Westbrook and Paojiao, because they can also live at home.
Resting at home and going to Staples to participate in the All-Star Game, this should be the best All-Star weekend for the Thunder Big Three.
