Chapter 355 The Magic Weapon of Winning
Tianyang made a three-pointer to kill the 76ers, and it still made three consecutive shots.

The impact came too fast and too fierce. Walton was still in the air with his hands ready to call a timeout. Brown was still looking at the field with his arms akimbo. More than 2 Lakers fans at the scene were also in a daze for a second before they realized it. Call.

Kobe got up, walked through the crowd to the field, and gave Tianyang a high five and hug.

"You are brave enough to play like this. If the lore fails, you will be sprayed to death." Kobe complained.

Tianyang just smiled and didn't intend to explain. He really didn't mean to stay away three times in a row, it happened by coincidence.

Jordan also took the initiative to go up and high-five Tianyang: "Next time you change hands for a layup in the air, your movements should be more graceful. If you have any doubts, you can ask me. You know my number."

Tianyang nodded to show his understanding, and Pierce also came up to high-five: "With Mike and Kobe here, I can teach you nothing, but next time you play the Celtics away, I can tell you that the floor is more elastic."

"Will Tianyang pay attention to your little tricks?" Carter joked, and then bumped shoulders with Tianyang to celebrate, "Your dunk is better than mine, keep going."

Afterwards, Tianyang chatted with McGrady and Iverson again, and then began to accept reporters.

The reporter asked three questions: the reason for winning the game, the feeling of three consecutive non-stick matches, and the thoughts of the lore. After Tianyang answered them one by one, he interacted with the fans on the scene before returning to the locker room.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Tianyang, Wharton, and McGee attended the post-match press conference together.

There were still those questions, and Tianyang still took the trouble to answer them.

When there was only one last question left, TNT reporter Maggio asked: "Currently the Lakers have won 15 consecutive victories, and it is very likely to hit the winning streak. Which team do you think will be the biggest obstacle to your hitting the winning streak? Please answer the three together, don't communicate."

If it were any other reporter, the three of Tianyang would definitely ignore it, but Maggio would have to save face.

"3, 2, 1, please answer!".

"warrior."

"warrior."

"No."

After the three people's voice fell, all the reporters on the scene laughed. Wharton and McGee said the warriors, and Tianyang said no.

Reporters don't want to ask why they are warriors, and all fools know it.

Why did Tianyang say no? The reporters showed curiosity.

"The biggest enemy of our winning streak is ourselves. For example, in this game against the 76ers, if Randall, Kobe, and Carter are there, it will definitely be easier. This is what I think. As for what the coach and McGee mentioned Warriors, I think it's at least a 9 percent chance because we have a stronger roster."

Tianyang only said half of what he said, but the reporters all understand that the Lakers lineup is strong on the bench. They have Kuzma, Tatum, Kobe, Rose or Rondo, all of whom have strong scoring capabilities, while the Warriors are on the bench. Only fake substitutes Iguodala and Sean Livingston are available, which is indeed much worse than the Lakers.

……

After the press conference, Kobe was the host and invited Jordan, Tracy McGrady, Pierce, Iverson, Carter, and Tianyang to a dinner party at the mastro steakhouse in Beverly Hills.

Several people talked about some topics about the future development direction of basketball, and they all agreed that the way to defeat the Warriors is to develop another tactical system instead of competing with the Warriors for small balls.

In the middle of the night that day, Tianyang's answer spread quickly through Twitter.

Some fans went to Twitter of Warriors players such as Green, Durant, and Curry to ask them what they thought.

Green replied: "It's good for him to be happy. We have won 24 consecutive victories, we have won 73 wins, and we have won two championships. I only care about the championship, not what he says, even if the Lakers regular season It doesn't matter if we win 4 games against us, because the Warriors will beat them in the playoffs."

He said he didn't care, but replied with a long paragraph of text, Green seemed extremely contradictory.

After Green, Durant replied: "I don't have any opinions. I was the same when I was young. I like to show off, talk big, and like to be self-indulgent. This is a common problem of young people. I understand him."

The meaning of these words is obvious, Durant thinks that Tianyang is still a little tender.

……

The Lakers' schedule in late November, with consecutive home games, was extremely easy.

On the 17th, the Lakers played against the Suns at home.Kobe Bryant came back and educated Marquese Chriss, who played dirty, and scored 8 points in a row on top of the opponent, helping the Lakers easily beat the Suns.

On the 19th, the Lakers played against the Nuggets at home.Murray was completely lost under Rondo's strong defense, Harris' strong shot in front of Tianyang was not good, and Randall's comeback restricted Jokic, and the Lakers won 127 to 109.

On the 21st, the Lakers played against the Bulls at home.Losing Butler, Wade, and Rondo, the Bulls trailed by as many as 10 points from the first quarter. After the second official game in the second quarter, Tianyang and other main players were all off the field, and Hart led Zubba With five players, Thomas, Nick Young, and McGee, it can be said that the Lakers are the weakest lineup, but the Bulls are still struggling to fight, and finally lost to the Lakers by 24 points.

On the 22nd, the Lakers started their away trip, which was nominally an away game, but they only went to next-door Sacramento to challenge the Kings.Facing the former owner, Clarkson and Nance played bravely, but they still couldn't stop the Lakers from winning 19 consecutive victories.

After defeating the Kings, the Lakers began the Thanksgiving holiday, which lasted for 4 days.

In the first three days, Tianyang and his teammates first participated in the free food and clothing distribution activities at the Staples Center, and then went to the North Los Angeles Elementary School donated by the All-Star Weekend to play exhibition games for local children.

On the last day, Tianyang accompanied Farage home and ate a family version of roast turkey.

After the Thanksgiving holiday, the Lakers challenged the Clippers away at the Staples Center.

It is called an away game, but about 8% of the fans who came to the scene carried signs related to the Lakers, either jerseys, ball caps, or Kobe Bryant posters, which made the Clippers players and owners very embarrassed.

But even so, the Clippers players did not show much fighting spirit, and Griffin even left the field with a negative attitude. If it weren't for Louis Williams to take the situation, the Clippers would lose by 20 points in three quarters.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 120 to 105, winning 20 consecutive victories.

The 20-game winning streak ranks fifth in the NBA's winning streak. This record in history made the whole Lakers team excited, but the Lakers also ushered in the opponent that McGee and Walton were most worried about-the Warriors.

It was said before that playing against the 76ers was the strongest challenge for the Lakers in the new season, mainly because three of the main players of the Lakers were injured at the time. Now facing the Warriors with the same staff, it is the strongest challenge in the true sense.

……

In the early morning of the 28th, TNT recorded a roundtable program. In addition to the regular four-person group, there were also five NBA stars Webber, Thomas, Miller, and Hill.

Ernie: "Today we mainly discuss the game between the Lakers and the Warriors at home tomorrow night. The Lakers have won the game since the start, and the Warriors have only lost 11 games in the entire month of November. The two teams can be described as a strong collision. Regarding the results of the game, everyone What do you think?"

O'Neal: "Watch the Lakers game? Wake up the next morning and it's another victory."

Kenny: "I agree with Shaq. The Lakers are currently gaining momentum, and at home, it's still a battle of revenge. The whole team must play with 200% passion, not to mention the Lakers are more dominant in the lineup."

After Kenny finished speaking, Hill and Thomas nodded in approval at the same time.

Barkley: "I think the Warriors will win, because Cousins, who was holding back the Warriors' defense before, is no longer in the Lakers. McGee and Lopez have no threats on the outside, and Green can double-team unscrupulously."

Miller: "The situation you mentioned does not exist. Randle can play center. The Lakers have tried it and the effect is very good. The advantage of the Warriors is that the starting firepower is too strong, and the Lakers are difficult to parry. As long as the Lakers can carry the Warriors One wave, it will definitely win the game easily."

Webber: "My opinion is different from yours. I think the two teams will be tied in the starting lineup. The real key factor lies in the performance of Kuzma and Tatum. They are the magic weapon for the Lakers."
