1147: Breaking the historical record, the Second Dynasty begins (Fourth Update)

There are many records about teams in NBA history, and the most talked about one is the winning streak.

The longest winning streak in NBA history is held by the Los Angeles Lakers, who are on a 33-game winning streak.

The league's longest opening streak is 26 consecutive wins set by the Grizzlies this season.

Don't look at the Grizzlies who easily broke this record this year, but in reality, it is very difficult to win 20+ consecutive games in a season.

After all, the regular season is filled with too many uncertainties. There are many examples of weak teams beating strong teams, so it is difficult for even strong teams to maintain the momentum of victory all the time.

Therefore, there are only five teams in NBA history that can win 20 consecutive games in a single season.

Aside from the Bucks and Lakers in ancient times, only three teams have achieved a 20-game winning streak in a single season in modern times: the Rockets with 22 consecutive wins, the Warriors and Grizzlies with 24 consecutive wins last season.

That's right, even in the years when the "OK combination" was at its best, the Lakers didn't have a 20+ winning streak.

In the year the Bulls won 72 games, their longest winning streak was just 13.

In the original history, the Heat Big Three originally had a 27-game winning streak. It's just a pity that Link's arrival has never made this record exist.

It is already very difficult to win 20 consecutive wins in a single season, and if the difficulty is increased a little more to win twice and 15 consecutive wins in a single season, then the number of teams that can do it in history will be reduced to three in an instant!

In the 1970-71 season, the Bucks won 17 in a row and a 20-game winning streak, entered the playoffs with 66 wins, and won the championship as they wished, which was the first time in NBA history that a team won two 15 consecutive wins in a single season.

The second time there were two 15-game winning streaks in a single season was more than 20 years later.

In the 1996-97 season, the "Utah Twins" Stockton and Carl Brown. Malone led the Jazz to two 15-game winning streaks and reached the Finals that year.

But unfortunately, their opponent was Jordan, who was in full swing at the time, so the Jazz unfortunately missed the championship. Because of this, their two 15-game winning streak in a single season are rarely mentioned.

The third time this happened was in the 06-07 season a decade later. Nash led the Suns to a 15-game winning streak and a 17-game winning streak that season, but they were still some way away from a championship. So, this record is also not well known.

As it turned out, if you don't win the championship, no matter how many other records you get, it's for nothing.

The 20-game winning streak in a single season and the 15-game winning streak in a single season can be said to be the ultimate NBA team can achieve in terms of winning streaks.

If you are more harsh and raise the requirement to two 20 consecutive wins in a single season, the number of teams that can do it will instantly become 0.

After all, it's rare for a team to run a 20-game winning streak in a single season, let alone twice.

But now, the Memphis Grizzlies are just one game away from touching a record that no one has ever been able to do before, or even come close to!

The Grizzlies' 26-game winning streak at the start of the season has rocked the world. But people definitely didn't expect that the Grizzlies would have another wave of 19 consecutive wins at the end of the regular season, from losing to the Pacers after the All-Star break!

They survived the Rockets, Spurs, Clippers and Warriors, survived the past March, and walked to a brand new league record.

As long as the Grizzlies win the next opponent, they will become the first team in NBA history, and most likely the only team, to win two 20-game winning streaks in a single season!

Fans are clearly more interested in this second 20-game winning streak than the third 70-win streak in a single season.

"Surprise? It's a scary! This record is incredible, and it means that the Grizzlies have won more than half of the season's games on a winning streak alone. Can you imagine what a horrible thing this is? And yet it's about to happen! ”

"Two consecutive 20 wins in a single season, the third time in the team's history that 70 wins in a single season. These two records will make Link and Grizzly Bear famous! In front of Link, many players no longer deserve the word great! ”

"The record is in Link's hands, and with his personality, there's absolutely no reason not to take it. Now the only question is, whether the grizzly bear can get it! ”

"The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't going to make it easy for the Grizzlies, and Westbrook doesn't want to be a foil. They are still chasing the sixth place in the West, so the Thunder will not give up the victory easily. ”

On the Internet, both the media and fans are discussing the two 20-game winning streaks in a single season.

If Link can really break this record that people couldn't even think of before, it will really go down in history.

In the future, the title of "I have me in every record" is estimated to be moved from Jordan's head to Link's head.

However, on the juncture of their second 20-game winning streak, they met the Thunder. I have to say, the grizzly bear is still quite unlucky.

The Thunder are currently seventh in the West, and if they make the playoffs at that level, it means they will meet the Warriors in the first round!

No one wants to be eliminated in the first round after a season.

Although the Thunder have no championship hopes this season, it is also excellent to play more in the playoffs. At the very least, it could pave the way for the Thunder to attract stars this summer.

You've got to show those stars the possibilities of this team before they have the idea of joining.

So, if the Thunder can overtake the Jazz to finish sixth, then their first-round opponent will be the Spurs.

Although the Spurs are not easy to play against, they at least have a better chance of winning than facing the Warriors directly and are more likely to advance to the second round.

Advancing to the second round is what the Thunder are aiming for this season. To achieve this, to surpass Jazz.

Even in the face of the unstoppable Grizzlies recently, the Thunder must fight to the end!

The day before the game, during the media session between trainings, reporters also asked Link if he would be worried about the next game.

"If I say I'm going to take the next game with a normal heart, and I don't care about two 20-game winning streaks in a single season, I'm going to be farting." As always, Link is very blunt.

"The Thunder are not an easy opponent to play against, and it is not easy to break records on their heads. But again, we've won three times against the Thunder this season. There is no team in the league that knows how to defeat the Thunder better than we do. ”

Link's answer was an understatement, and many people had thought that Link would become stressed in front of a record that no one had ever broken.

But in reality, Link is more at ease than anyone.

Link thought that his attitude would make many Russian media outlets stand up and spray him, and make a big fuss about the arrogance and arrogance that no one has in his eyes.

However, that night, Link flipped through his phone and looked at it, only to find that everything was calm!

No Russian media came out to say that Link wasn't, and no Thunder player came out to speak.

Link smiled, after all these years, the reporters finally learned to behave.

They finally understood that it was better not to mess with those they couldn't afford to mess with.

Now, no one dares to raise the bar with Link. Durant and Green's fate has not been forgotten so quickly.

Sure enough, the Grizzlies had the upper hand from start to finish the next night.

Westbrook's performance today can be described as astonishing, he has always been iron-clad three-pointers, but today he was terrifyingly accurate.

With a 1-of-4 three-point shot in the first half, Westbrook shot 7-of-9 from three-point range in the second half.

With these 7 three-pointers, the Thunder once overtook the score!

However, the Grizzlies have coped with the crisis with composure.

Gasol was still colored outside the three-point line, Wade, who had already passed the painful period, used the breakthrough to kill again and again, and Conley forced Westbrook to make two consecutive mistakes at critical moments......

In today's game, the key moment is no longer Link alone, but the Grizzlies all burst out of their full strength.

After all, the record of two consecutive 20 wins in a single season is not just for Link.

It's a collective honor, so everyone on the Grizzlies team is very positive.

In the end, Westbrook made a miraculous 8-of-13 three-point shooting, scoring a game-high 45 points!

But the Grizzlies scored in double figures with seven players and won the game 113-108.

At the end of the game, the audience was jubilant.

The record of two consecutive 20 wins in a single season has officially written the name of the Memphis Grizzlies team from the beginning, and this is the only one!

Link looked at the cheering fans and his teammates celebrating wildly from afar, but he seemed very calm.

Two 20-game winning streaks in a single season, and the third 70-win streak in a single season for the third time in team history, these are just accessories.

If you can't win the championship, these records won't be so great.

It's like the Jazz and Suns have won two 15-game winning streaks in a single season, and almost no one mentions it.

Now, the goal of the regular season is basically accomplished. After that, let's move towards the goal of the playoffs!

The second dynasty began to be built in earnest.
