Chapter 169: Breaking the Record for Number 2! Time to recharge!
"Yes."
Kenny Smith nodded emphatically, then excitedly said, "The Rockets have won 22 straight games, led by Yao Ming."
The Knicks achieved a 22-game winning streak, led by Su Yan.
Both players from China led their teams to the second-longest winning streak in history.
That's amazing.
The Chinese fans are really something!
"Haha~"
Mike Breen laughed and joked, "Now... the pressure is on Yi Jianlian of the New Jersey Nets!"
"Hahaha!"
Kenny Smith laughed and shook his head, then added: "What's interesting is that when the Rockets were on their way to a 23-game winning streak, they faced the Celtics, the championship-winning 'Big Three' that year."
Ultimately, they suffered a crushing defeat.
If Yao Ming hadn't been injured, the unstoppable Rockets might have been able to overcome the Celtics.
Coincidentally.
The Knicks are aiming for their 23rd consecutive win in their next game against the Celtics, who don't have any key players injured.
Will history repeat itself?
Or... the Knicks could wipe out the Celtics, surpass the Rockets, and hold the record for the second-longest winning streak in history.
This is something we can look forward to.
"Uh-huh."
Mike Brin nodded emphatically, "Seriously, I've been looking forward to the whole thing!!!"
……
The next day.
in the afternoon.
The Knicks, who flew back from Houston overnight, are now training hard and preparing for their matchup against the Celtics after a good rest.
Everyone is on high alert.
So serious?!
It's worth noting that... the Knicks, with their 23-game winning streak, have surpassed the Magic and climbed to second place in the Eastern Conference.
Their record is second only to the Cavaliers.
The Celtics finished fourth, suggesting they are no longer the championship contenders they were in the 07-08 season.
That's not the case.
First of all, the record of fourth place in the East is not bad.
Secondly, although the strength of the "Big Three" has declined since they were first formed in 07, their dominance remains.
With a lineup of "Big Three", they are still the favorites to win the championship.
Finally, despite the Celtics losing some games and their team record not looking great, let's not be fooled by their poor performance.
Actually.
Their focus this season has never been the regular season, but... the championship.
Then.
As long as we can secure a spot in the playoffs with a first-four pick, that's enough.
This way, losing some games will give them more rest time and allow them to prepare for the playoffs earlier.
This is the only way to maximize the chances of winning the championship.
In short.
When the Celtics get serious, they are particularly strong in tough games.
This is why they were able to defeat the top-ranked Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference during the Christmas Day game!
Obviously.
Their next opponent, the Knicks, will be a tough battle, one they need to take completely seriously.
When the Celtics get serious, their strength is terrifying.
They will also make it to the finals this year.
Some might ask, if the Celtics are so strong, why didn't they make it to the NBA Finals last year?!
That's because "Wolf King" Garnett was injured.
The Celtics' strength stems from the combined power of their "Big Three," none of whom can be omitted.
……
This will be a tough battle for the Knicks.
Su Yan should also take this seriously.
With a 22-game winning streak already, let's not even talk about aiming for a 33-game winning streak, at least... we need to surpass the Rockets' 22-game winning streak, which is just a stone's throw away.
Daily training needs to be maintained.
Su Yan also needs to be charged extra.
Working through the night without rest.
Rebecca couldn't satisfy Su Yan, but... her skills were becoming more and more proficient.
4 points in the early hours.
Rebecca slumped weakly against Su Yan, having lost all fighting ability, yet her face was filled with happiness.
She gently stroked Su Yan's handsome and captivating face, radiating masculinity, and whispered, "Darling, shall we install a mirror on the ceiling next time?!"
"why?"
"Because...that way we can appreciate each other better, and I think that would make us happier~"
Wow~ That sounds interesting~
Honey, you seem to be getting better and better at it now.
"Hehe~ People always have to keep growing and improving."
"Not bad, but... you still need to work on your physical fitness!"
"They've been working out and practicing dance very seriously, but I can only say that you're too fierce and too powerful!"
Uh-huh.
Su Yan loved hearing that; all men love hearing that.
Although I was still not quite done, the charging was complete.
……
the next day.
The entire Knicks team arrived at the arena early to continue preparing for their game against the Celtics that evening.
This was another landmark match.
of course.
It only makes sense to win.
The Knicks vs. Celtics matchup has been described by many as a "prelude to the Eastern Conference Finals".
This is a major battle broadcast live across the entire country.
It's extremely popular.
Dance studio.
The mentors also emphasized to the trainees that tonight's broadcast was live across the entire stadium, so they needed to perform well and not embarrass the Knicks' cheerleaders.
The young ladies nodded vigorously and were also actively practicing their dance.
During break.
A young woman looked at Rebecca and couldn't help but exclaim, "Rebecca, your skin seems to have gotten even better lately!"
It's pure white, flawless, and has a rosy, glossy sheen.
How do you maintain your skin?
"Is there any?"
Rebecca touched her face and smiled, "It's the same as usual. And you know, I always keep my skincare routine simple. I just wipe my face and put on a mask, and that's it."
"Wow~"
Another young lady also noticed Rebecca's amazing skin condition and exclaimed enviously, "Is this really skin that can be achieved with simple skincare?"
Rebecca.
Your skin is so good, I'm so envious!
"Your skin is so rosy."
Another cheerleader came over and asked suspiciously, "With normal maintenance, how could you be in such good condition?"
It feels like it's been injected with some special nutrients~
"Tell me... Rebecca, have you started dating someone lately?!"
"No...no!"
Rebecca vehemently denied it, but inwardly she was startled. Could it be... that action could protect the skin?!
If so, then...
Rebecca gradually discovers a new continent.
……
6 p.m.
The entire Celtics team arrived at Madison Square Garden and went to the away locker room arranged by the Knicks.
"Guys, are you confident you can take down those Knicks brats?!"
"Wolf King" Garnett clapped his hands and growled at the top of his lungs.
"of course?"
Pierce leaned back in his chair, stretched, and said calmly and confidently, "Dealing with them doesn't require going all out."
22 consecutive wins?
It looks good; it seems to be very powerful.
But just like the Rockets in the 07-08 season, they were able to win 22 consecutive games simply because they hadn't faced us yet!
The Knicks are doing the same thing tonight.
"That's true."
Ray Allen shrugged, looking like he wouldn't lose, "Tonight we're not just going to win the game."
I also want to silence all doubts.
Recently, the calls for Su Yan to be the strongest marksman in the league have been growing louder and louder, and he's starting to overshadow me, which makes me a little unhappy!
I'm going to let him experience firsthand how a true top-tier marksman shines in high-level matches!!!
