The Basketball Court Swordsman

In the 95-96 season, after the comeback, Michael Jordan led the Chicago Bulls to a 72-10 record in the regular season. Since then, a great record was born in the league. With 70 wins in a single season, it has become the highest honor a team can get in the regular season.

For many years thereafter, 72 wins in a single season is considered to be an unprecedented record, and it is very likely that there will be no future record. After all, with the development and evolution of modern basketball, it is almost a fantasy to ensure that only ten games are lost in a season.

But all this changed in 2013, when the Indiana Pacers suddenly emerged. They won the championship last season and consolidated their dominance that year.

With 72 wins in the regular season, no one believes that the Pacers would actually tie the Bulls record.

People have actually imagined that one day a certain team can break the Bulls record. In many people's minds, it may be Kobe, James or even Durant.

But absolutely no one thought that the man who did this was a Chinese coach who was scolded by the media every day.

In 14 years, the Chinese coach suffered a heart disease and almost died. To this end, Henson had to suspend training.

At that moment, people thought that the Pacers' dynasty was about to collapse. After all, during Henson's training period, the Pacers' record was not amazing.

However, a miracle once again happened to Indianapolis. Henson has won the second-longest 30-game winning streak in NBA history since his return to the All-Star Game. With a record of victory after the return, he led the Pacers to 70+ wins for the second consecutive season.

And this time, it was 73 wins!

A record that could never be reproduced was broken by Henson for two consecutive seasons. There is no doubt that the glory of the Pacers has always been linked to 70 wins in a single season.

Many young fans are familiar with the following story. The Golden State Warriors almost dominated the league after Henson retired. They first won the championship and then scored 73 wins in a single season.

Although the Warriors were defeated by the Cavaliers in the Finals in the 73-win season, people still cannot deny the greatness of the Warriors that season.

Two years after that, Henson returned and the Pacers re-dominated the league.

But 70 wins in a single season never happened again.

Whether it is the Warriors or the Pacers, stability is the main focus in the regular season. But this year, without warning, the record of 70 wins in a single season will appear again.

Moreover, this time it is very likely that there will be a brand new regular season win record, 74 wins in a single season!

April 10, 2019, the last day of the NBA regular season. This year, the regular season competition is fierce. Until the last day, the final ranking has not been determined.

Since the Rockets faced the Thunder on April 10 and were finally killed by Westbrook, the Rockets have faced a situation where they may fall out of the top three.

Once the Rockets fall out of the top three in the Western Conference, they will encounter the Warriors ahead of time. Many people think this is not good news for the Rockets, because the Warriors this season is still strong, even stronger than last season. The arrival of Cousins ​​and Bogut gave the Warriors the only flaw inside. Very well strengthened.

Therefore, most people do not want the Rockets and Warriors to meet in advance. Therefore, whether the Rockets can reach the top three in the Western Conference depends on the results of today's game.

In addition, the already-ranked Nuggets also did not sit back and relax. I have to say that the Nuggets coach Malone really worked hard. In order to avoid encountering the Rockets, the previous game against the Blazers gave up victory, and the suspicion of releasing the water is very high.

Although Yimalong made it clear after the game that he did not deliberately lose to the Trail Blazers, there was indeed some "no silver or three hundred taels" attitude. On the last day, the Nuggets will also determine their final destiny.

And this year's regular season, there is more than one case like the above-mentioned things that have not been determined until the end.

This includes the east. The Brooklyn Nets encountered a very heart-breaking thing. On the last day of the regular season, they were about to face the embarrassing situation of winning the sixth in the Eastern Conference, and losing the eighth in the Eastern Conference.

No one wants to be eighth in the East, because the eighth in the East means that the first round of the playoffs must meet the Pacers.

But what is even worse for the Nets is that they met the Pacers first before the playoffs started. Because the Pacers' opponent in the final match of the regular season is the Nets!

But the Nets may not get the victory they want as they wish, although the Pacers now sit back and relax, the league's top ranking has been determined early.

But the Pacers will not be reserved for the playoffs, because this is their best chance to break the 73-win record.

Therefore, no one cares about the ownership of those final rankings. In the face of the great record of 74 wins, the ranking of other teams is not important at all.

"The game is about to begin. The Pacers have won 73 wins after the previous victory over the Eagles! The great Henson Joe, in the last year of his career, he was still able to tie the league record for the most wins in a single season. . But I think that Coach Henson’s ambitions may not stop there. He may make an impact towards the great record of 74 wins, let us wait and see!"

Before the game started, Reggie Miller was already very excited. He even secretly prepared a 74-win commemorative T-shirt for himself, and put it on immediately after the game.

When interpreting the game, he must remain objective and neutral. But after the game, he can be a complete Pacers fan.

Since losing to the Warriors in March, the Pacers have ushered in a series of winning streaks. They defeated the Thunder, Nuggets and Celtics at the end of March and won 70 early.

So Reggie Miller has reason to believe that Henson must have set a record. If he didn't want to set a record, he could take turns when he played the Eagles yesterday.

But on the court at this time, Nets coach Kenning Atkinson doesn't think so.

74 wins great? Of course great. But compared with the championship, the championship is naturally greater. Look at the Warriors who won 73 wins that year. Because they lost the championship, they were ridiculed as a runner-up with 73 wins until now.

Therefore, Atkinson believes that the Pacers will not necessarily strive to win. After all, the playoffs are coming, and as a team with a championship goal, Henson must prepare for the playoffs. Increase the risk of playing the playoffs for a regular season? Atkinson thought Henson would not do this.

Didn't Henson give up 73 wins just to save energy?

But Atkins didn't know that Henson gave up 73 wins, which was one of the last things he regretted in his life.

Therefore, before the game started, Henson gave the players the same order.

"No matter how the Nets players resist, I have only one requirement! I won 74 wins and become a legend!"

Henson looked at his players seriously, this time, he would not let any honor slip from his fingertips!

The referee blew his whistle and this highly anticipated game officially began.

After seeing Henson's starting lineup, Atkins was instantly confused.

Brogdon, Oladipo, George, Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez... this is a regular starting lineup! Henson did not send a substitute to play, but took the strongest main force.

In other words, the Pacers still desire victory!

Before the game started, Atkins was hit hard. Can a full-fledged Pacers Nets play?

Well, Atkinson really doesn't have much confidence...
