Chapter 204 Epic Winning Streak
If it weren't for his strong desire for the "copper skin and iron bone badge", Wang Dalin would really not be willing to break the record of 33 consecutive victories... How tiring!

On the night of January 1rd, when the Pistons gathered at the airport, Wang Dalin found that everyone was in the same state as him, all yawning, as if they hadn't woken up.

Although they have been resting for four days, it seems that everyone has not had a good rest, or...the rest has not allowed their nerves to really relax.

Wang Dalin now knows why the peak Jordan or the "OK combination" failed to lead the team to break the record of 33 consecutive victories.

When a team's winning streak really reaches 18 or 19 games, the players will become more and more nervous. Who is not interested in the league's historical winning streak?

The closest to this record in later generations is the Heat in the 2011-2012 season. At that time, James, Wade and Bosh led the team to 27 consecutive victories, but they still fell short in the end.

Are they not strong enough?
I'm afraid it's because the spirits of the players have collapsed, right?
At that time, maybe losing a game was a good thing for them, because they finally relaxed completely, and they didn't have to continue to bear the heavy shackles of trying to break the historical winning streak.

On the evening of January 1th, the Pistons will challenge the Eagles away. On this morning, the league finally announced the results of the second round of this year's All-Star voting.

Not surprisingly... Wang Dalin was the top voter again, and the number of votes announced this round exceeded 200 million votes.

Last year, Wang Dalin finally got 2515462 votes, breaking the historical record of NBA All-Star voting. This year, it seems that he will break his own record again.

Wang Dalin himself was also very surprised, because after all, he traveled from 2021. He knew that the highest number of votes in NBA All-Star voting history was more than 590 million votes, but that was the Internet age!

These days, Internet voting is only just emerging, and he was able to get more than 200 million votes in the second round, and considering that the All-Star voting channel will continue to open for another month, his votes will likely exceed 300 million at that time... This is really terrifying!

Just looking at the results of this round of voting, Kobe ranked second with just over 95 votes, not even half of Wang Dalin's!

This is still because the number of domestic netizens is too small. In a few years, Wang Dalin dares to say that he can get tens of millions of votes every year... As long as David Stern and the others don't do anything, do you think Yao Ming in the original time and space can't get more than 1000 million votes?
……

In the game on January 1, everyone could see that the Pistons players were in extremely poor condition, but coincidentally...the Hawks players were in worse condition than them!
Among the Pistons, only Wang Dalin is in good condition.

这一晚他全场19投12中，其中三分球7投3中，外加罚球6投6中，砍下了33分10篮板11助攻的大号三双，还送出了1次抢断和1次封盖。

The main players of the Pistons were in poor condition. Hamilton made only 11 of 3 shots, Robinson made 6 of 1 shots, McGinnis made 7 of 1 shots, and Ben only grabbed 3 rebounds.

If Carlisle hadn't decisively replaced Boozer, Okur, Williams, Alston and other substitute players in the second half, how could Wang Dalin send so many assists?
Compared with the sluggishness of the main players, although the substitute players of the Pistons are not in good condition, they can at least actively run and throw the ball in open positions.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, even the bus played for a few minutes... well, it was garbage time!
The Eagles traded "Big Dog" Glenn Robinson from the Bucks this summer. This guy is still in a strong state, but he can't lead the team to victory.

After this game, the Eagles have a record of 12 wins and 20 losses. If there is no big deal in the middle of the season, they may not be able to make the playoffs this season.

On January 1, the Pistons returned home to face the Raptors.

There is no suspense about the result of this game... Although the nerves of the Pistons are already tighter than the bowstring, they still played the most powerful momentum in the Eastern Conference in the face of the Raptors without Vince Carter.

王大林只打了三节就13投7中，其中三分球7投4中，罚球4投4中，砍下了22分10篮板10助攻1抢断1盖帽。

The Pistons also easily defeated the Raptors 102:74, winning 32 consecutive victories.

There is only one victory away from tying the record of 33 consecutive victories. The Pistons players are basically a little worried about gains and losses. Probably only Carlisle and Wang Dalin can continue to remain calm.

On April 1, the Pistons challenged the 8ers away.

In this game, the main players of the Pistons were in a sluggish state again. Only Wang Dalin was in a very good state. He and Iverson staged another earth-shattering confrontation.

Although Iverson's touch is not very good, he can always rush to the basket and cause damage. Carlisle has changed several defensive strategies and still cannot limit his breakthrough.

结果艾弗森全场27投12中，其中三分球7投2中，罚球14投12中，砍下了38分5篮板7助攻3抢断。

Wang Dalin saw that his teammates were in a sluggish state, so he carried the banner of offense without hesitation. He made 29 crazy shots and hit 16 goals, including 13 of 6 three-pointers and 8 of 7 free throws. He scored 45 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

Especially in the fourth quarter, Wang Dalin scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in a single quarter. He used his terrifying offensive power to bring the touch of his teammates up.

In the end, the Pistons defeated the 103ers 94:76.

Finally, they won 33 consecutive victories. Even if they lost the next game immediately, they have now tied the historical record.

The Pistons were all overjoyed. The owner, Bill Davidson, even flew to Philadelphia to give everyone in the team a valuable gift... The old man has always been stingy. He can spend millions of dollars to give gifts to his subordinates. Even Carlisle felt that the sun was coming out of the west.

The gift Wang Dalin received was a bottle of red wine worth more than 10 US dollars. According to Davidson, this was a coming-of-age gift specially given to Wang Dalin... Well, Wang Dalin will be 21 years old in two more months, and he will be able to drink openly by then!
The gift Carlisle received was a high-end "Yamaha" electronic piano. The price of this thing is close to 10 US dollars, which is more expensive than many famous brand pianos... But Wang Dalin noticed that Carlisle was not very happy. Maybe he still prefers pianos?
The Pistons players and coaches are very excited. After all, they have tied the historical winning streak. Even if they lose the next game, each of them is enough to be recorded in history.

But... Wang Dalin's task is not only to "equal the historical winning streak record", but to "break the historical winning streak record", so he did not relax at all.

就在1月10日活塞队客场挑战黄蜂队的比赛中，王大林又打出了31分11篮板10助攻的三双，还送出了1次封盖和2次抢断，率队以105:99艰难地击败了黄蜂队。

In this game, the main players of the Pistons are finally in better condition, perhaps because their nerves have been relaxed a little bit by tying the historical winning streak?

Finally breaking the historical winning streak record, Wang Dalin couldn't wait to receive the "Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Badge" in the system after the game, and immediately equipped himself with it.

Early the next morning, the eyes of the entire North American team were focused on the Pistons... Well, in fact, everyone has not stopped paying attention to the Pistons in the past two weeks.

It's just that this time is different, because the Pistons have broken the historical winning streak record, which is something worth writing about...Is there any better news than this?
On that night, ESPN and TNT specifically changed the live broadcast plan, making an exception for the Pistons vs. Bucks game to be included in the national live broadcast.

The live broadcast rooms of the two major TV stations are full of superstars, "Magician", "Big Bird", "The Essence of Human Movies", "Dr. J", "Skyhook", "Big Dream", "Logo Man", etc., and even "Lord of the Rings" Mr. Bill Russell came to join in the fun.

As one of the leaders of the Lakers' 33-game winning streak that year, "LOGO Man" Jerry West couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The grand occasion of the year seems to be vivid in his narration.

"Just before that season, our boss Jack Cook fired the original head coach Malani and invited the legendary superstar Bill Sharman of the Celtics to be our head coach. To be honest, we were very upset at the time!"

"We're the Los Angeles Lakers! Why do we hire a Celtic to be our head coach? Isn't this so fucking ridiculous?"

"But you all know what happened later... Sharman insisted that we should play fast basketball and use fast breaks to solve the battle as much as possible. He persuaded Wilt to change his style of play and let the most sturdy scorer focus on defense, rebounding and passing!"

"With Wilt next to Hairston, the "human bomber", the two of them completely dominated the backcourt rebounds!"

"Goodrich and I focused on scoring. We used jump shots and fast breaks to solve the battle... Unfortunately, Elgin's knee injury was too serious. He could no longer keep up with the team's fast break rhythm and was put on the bench by Sharman. This is also the reason for his retirement!"

"Hey, if only Elgin could breathe a sigh of relief, so he wouldn't have retired without even touching the championship trophy!"

"Then we kept winning, kept winning...until we hit 33 in a row!"

"At that time, I was thinking...we are so fucking awesome!"

"This record will definitely be maintained for many years, and no team will ever be able to break our record... But I didn't expect the Pistons and Darling King to do it. They are really a magical team!"

Elder Russell also smiled and said, "That's right, these kids really did a great job! If they can win the championship this year, I think they deserve it. I would be very willing to present the FMVP trophy to the best boy among them!"

"Magic" Johnson said with a smile: "You don't need to be so cryptic, we all know that as long as the Pistons win the championship, the FMVP will definitely belong to Darling King!"

Russell couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, it must be this young man... He's simply outstanding this season!"

……

The words of the bosses were full of praise for the Pistons. As a result, on the same night, amid the cheers and cheers of more than 22000 home fans in the "Palace of Auburn Hills", the Pistons narrowly defeated the Bucks 87:89, finally ending their winning streak, and also set the NBA's historical winning streak at 34 consecutive victories.

I have to say, sometimes too much milk is poisonous!
这场比赛王大林全场19投仅6中，其中三分球7投1中，罚球4投3中，只得到16分……这也是本赛季王大林的单场最低得分。

His touch and overall state are indeed quite hip, but his coping ability is still there, and he is also very active in rebounding, so he still scored a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 1 steal in this game.

Counting this game, Wang Dalin has won 9 triple-doubles this season, including many large triple-doubles with 30+ and 40+ points.

He has always been at the top of ESPN's MVP rankings, and others are simply incomparable with him, because the current ESPN predicted vote gap is too great.

1月12日，联盟又公布了上一周的东西部周最佳球员得主，王大林所在是活塞队虽然输了一场，可他还是以场均28.5分10.5篮板9.5助攻1.25盖帽和1.75抢断蝉联了东部周最佳。

The best player in the Western Conference was won by Kobe. He led the Lakers to three victories this week, and averaged 32.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7 assists, 2.3 steals and 1 block per game.

After losing to the Hornets, the Pistons will experience a wave of back-to-back away games against the Magic and Heat.

Just looking at the record this season, the Magic ranked seventh in the Eastern Conference with 20 wins and 19 losses, while the Heat ranked No. 12 in the Eastern Conference with 25 wins and 13 losses. They are not considered strong opponents for the Pistons.

The results of the game on the night of January 1 also proved this point.

在这场比赛中王大林一反上场比赛的低迷，全场17投9中，其中三分球9投5中，罚球6投5中，非常高效地砍下了28分10篮板12助攻2抢断2盖帽，拿下本赛季个人第10次三双的同时，也率队轻松击败了魔术队。

麦迪的状态有点像上一场的王大林，他全场19投6中，其中三分球1投1中，罚球9投7中，得到20分3篮板4助攻1抢断。

T-MAC is also a real tough guy when he doesn't feel good. Most of the time, his dry pull really makes the opponent helpless, but sometimes it can also make the teammates half-dead.

On the night of January 1th, the Pistons lost. They lost to the Heat, which was almost at the bottom of the Eastern Conference!
Wang Dalin's state in this game is really mediocre...Maybe his back-to-back away games have affected his physical strength, but Wang Dalin himself thinks that his state should be a bit unstable after 34 consecutive victories.

他全场18投8中，其中三分球9投3中，罚球8投6中，得到25分11篮板7助攻，没有抢断也没有封盖。

But he's not the worst player on the Pistons...Hamilton made 14 of 5 shots from the field and was even more hip than him!
此外，罗宾逊11投3中，大本5投0中，巴里4投1中，威廉姆斯6投2中，布泽尔7投2中……王大林的表现竟然是全队第一！

Wouldn't it be unreasonable to play so poorly without losing?
On January 1, the Pistons will host the Knicks.

Probably because the Pistons dared to lose even the Heat, and the Knicks' backup center Tyrese Knight jumped out again...
