New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 364 The Winning Streak Ends
"This game can definitely be ranked in the top ten of the most intense this year, no, the top five!" Although Zhang Yi did not score overtime, Zhang Yi's three-pointer at the last moment was deliberately different from Simpkins' final free throw. Going in and hitting the field for a layup are all extraordinary performances!
The Lakers have tried their best, after all, including Robert, Wally and Zhang Yi, three consecutive three-pointers.Such resilience is rare in the world.

Not to mention that these three-pointers they made were against the San Antonio Spurs, the league's strongest perimeter defense!This performance is already a miracle.

But in the end they still lost a point!It was too late for the Lakers to wake up, and it was too late for a wave of offensive climax.

If Robert had played supernaturally at the last moment in the first three quarters, or even just played the point guard position in advance, the final result may have been different.

But there is no if in this world, and there is no going back after the game.The opportunity for the Lakers to hit the first season winning streak in history also ended with this loss.

Of course, because the game was so thrilling, except for TV ratings and broadcasts on various channels, they all broke this year's peak.

Even more than when the Warriors played the Lakers, this is beyond the expectations of many people.After all, whether it is Zhang Yi or Simpkins' personal traffic is still not as good as that of Curry.

It can also be seen that the final adjustment of the Warriors in which game also shocked the audience.Especially for fans of Curry, it is simply unacceptable.

Not to mention that after that game, the number of people fighting on the streets of Los Angeles far exceeded the previous one.In the end, the police officers in the police station were overwhelmed.Even the detention room is not enough, it is so realistic.

But this game will not happen someday. After all, both the Lakers and the Spurs have played at the highest level.

In particular, Zhang Yi and Simpkins had a fight like a fairy fight.Among them, Zhang Yi scored a game-high 46 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, and 8 steals.

Of course, the steals only come from the first few rounds of the trait.

Simpkins scored 44 points, 12 rebounds and 17 assists in a terrifying triple-double!He is also the man of the game.

Not to mention stopping Zhang Yi, who is open to traits, just look at his last clever layup lore, which has already proved Simpkins' absolute big heart.

Because there are many people who operate in this way, but very few can succeed.

As the saying goes, success is momentary, and failure is crematorium!Simpkins's goal will also become one of the best lore this season. The "mechanical killer" who was not good at attacking and shooting key shots in the past has now fully evolved!
The Lakers are not the first victim, nor will they be the last!
After this game, the San Antonio Spurs continued to narrow the gap with the Lakers, and also continued to shake off the No.3 Golden State Warriors.

Because the competition in the Western Conference this year is too fierce, the difference between the second and third places is huge.

No one wants to meet the Golden State Warriors early because they haven't lost a series in the playoffs in many years.

Even the San Antonio Spurs hope to meet the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, coupled with a change of coach, it is still unknown whether their strength will be affected.

Anyway, with Curry in charge, their lower limit is enough to kill many teams in seconds.Although he is injured, it will not affect people's fear of him.

The Lakers are now firmly ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference, but this wave of winning streak is over, and people began to think that they should play a normal state after falling from the altar.

Their winning streak is not normal now, because their strength is not so strong at all.Especially whether Zhang Yi is the successor of Curry or not.

People's expectations of him are too high, which is not a normal phenomenon.If it were placed in another era, I am afraid that Zhang Yi might be killed.

But when Curry, the league's top card, has confirmed that he will retire this year, the league needs the next top card.

Simpkins is certainly a good choice.It's a pity that he chose a small ball market from the beginning, and he played very low-key!
Although the current style of play has changed, there is no way to immediately change the audience's inherent perception of him.

As for Thomas' background, of course it is completely opposite to him, because the Knicks are a big ball market.And Thomas plays gorgeously and looks handsome.

People were very optimistic about him, and even some league executives believed in it.It's just that now Thomas is obsessed with unrealistic traits and screwed up his body as a result.

Some other stars have all kinds of problems. If Zhang Yi is still a rookie, the league can almost publicly praise him.

But now considering taking care of some old stars in the league, the top management is hiding this.But this was not Zhang Yi's choice, but reality pushed him to this position!
The Lakers are off to a super perfect start and didn't lose their first game until January!If it was normal, they would have been blown to the sky long ago.

But because of Curry's Warriors, the Lakers will never become the so-called No. [-] seed team.

Coupled with this game against the Spurs, Simpkins' ability to lead the team has been confirmed.They defeated the Lakers, and it seemed suspenseful, but in fact they had a huge advantage!

If there is no crazy counterattack at the last moment, the Lakers may even lose by double digits.

The normal scene was also firmly grasped by the Spurs.If it wasn't for Zhang Yi's special traits, they wouldn't even have the chance to hit the final climax.

But now Simpkins of the Spurs has also shown a similar performance, which means that the last trump card of the Lakers has also failed.

All the ball critics have also expressed their views. If the team that may emerge from the West this year is the San Antonio Spurs.

Because the Memphis Grizzlies, currently ranked fourth in the West, are likely to complete the surpassing of the Warriors.This also means that under normal circumstances, the Lakers will encounter the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs!

The reason for saying this is that Curry was suspended on the one hand.On the other hand, because the replacement of the medical service team may retest the body, if there are other injuries, the Warriors may continue to put him on the injury list.

In addition, the assistant coach who replaced the head coach has led the team to two consecutive losses, so the prospect of the defending champion is also dark.

It is still a mystery when Curry will come back, and everyone will make conservative estimates.And even if Alliance No.1 returns, it is unknown how much this incident will hit him...
