Chapter 908 The Winning Streak Ends
On December 12th, the Christmas War.

The Raptors played against the Philadelphia 76ers at home. This game attracted the attention of the entire league.Not only the Christmas game itself, but also because the outcome of this game is related to whether they can tie the Heat's 27-game winning streak that year.

In this game, the Raptors' momentum was like a rainbow. They played a stormy offense at the beginning and quickly established a lead.

The 76ers have been catching up hard, but they are not as good as their opponents in terms of strength and momentum, and finally failed to catch up with the score.

In the end, the Raptors won at home and ushered in a 27-game winning streak, tying the Heat's 27-game winning streak.

On December 12, the Raptors were a guest in Dallas and played away against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Mavericks is Yingxiong's old club. He was traded here from the Bucks that year, and won the NBA championship in the 2010-2011 season with the team.To this day, in this city, there are still fans who keep his No. 25 jersey back then, and many fans have always regretted his departure.

Ying Xiong is very grateful to the Mavericks for their friendship, especially the owner Mark Cuban, who made him feel the friendship in this business alliance.

But the Mavericks will soon become history, the team has decided to change the name to "Dallas Mavericks."It has been approved by the alliance and will be renamed next month.

It has been 6 years since he defeated Yingxiong and left this team. The only old teammates who won the championship together are Dirk Nowitzki and JJ Barea, but he is still very kind to here.After all, he lived in this city for a year and sweated a lot in the arena here.

Before the start of the game, Ying Xiong and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, who came to watch the game, chatted about old times.The two have become friends since they won the championship in 11, and they usually keep in touch, but after all, they are in different places, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other.

Ying Xiong also hugged and greeted his old teammates Dirk and JJ Barea, and the Mavericks fans at the scene gave applause and cheers.Many fans also wore Yingxiong's No. 25 Mavericks jersey to commemorate the years of struggle together and recall that unusual season.

Mavericks fans, there are very few people who don't like Yingxiong. Everyone often feels regretful because the home team lost a chance to become the best basketball player in history.

Of course, this game is not "Golden Years". The focus is on whether the Raptors can surpass the Heat's 27-game winning streak and become the second-best team in league history.

I don't know if it was a coincidence or if it was fate.The Mavericks that year defeated the Heat to win the championship that season.And Ying Xiong needs to beat his old club tonight to surpass the Heat.

In this game, from the very beginning of the game, the two teams hit the iron frequently, and the scores of both sides were very low.

I don't know if blacksmithing is contagious. Even Ying Xiong hit several fine irons at the beginning of the first quarter, which is hard to see in the past few games.

The scores of the two teams have been anxious, and the scores are not high. It is difficult to see who can have the last laugh in this game.

Such an anxious scene between the two teams was maintained until the end.At the critical moment of the game, Jeremy Lin stepped forward to help the team defeat the opponent and ushered in a 28-game winning streak!

28 consecutive victories!The Raptors also surpassed the Heat in the 2012-2013 season and became the second longest winning streak in NBA regular season history!

After the game, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and team soul Nowitzki congratulated Ying Xiong and his Raptors.There was even applause at home in Dallas to congratulate the visiting team, which is unique in team history.Everything is because there is a Yingxiong in the opposing team who once played for the team on this field.

Ying Xiong was very grateful for the kindness and righteousness of the Mavericks. He waved his hand to thank the fans, took photos with them, gave them autographs, and gave them his jersey and sneakers for the game.His actions made the fans love him even more, and there was a happy scene on the scene.

After surpassing the Heat's 27-game winning streak, only the 33-game winning streak of the Los Angeles Lakers in the "Show time era" remained before the Raptors.And they are only 5 victories away from this seemingly incredible record.

On December 12, the Raptors played back-to-back away games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

The Thunder traded Paul George and Carmelo Anthony this season, forming the Big 3 with Westbrook.But the chemical reaction of these three giants is not good, so the team still seems to be a little uncoordinated.

But bad chemistry does not mean lack of strength. If you play a decisive game, no team in the league can say that they can win against them.

In this game, the Raptors played very difficult because of back-to-back and away games.It just happened that the Thunder's Big 3 broke out, so the scene showed a situation where the home team had a clear advantage.

Although Ying Xiong is still unstoppable, the other players of the Raptors obviously can't hold on to the tight string.In the end, they still lost to their opponents in an away game. They missed the record of 29 consecutive victories in team history, and they also missed the league record of 33 consecutive victories created by the Lakers.

After the game, Ying Xiong said in an interview: "It's a pity not to create a record, but the goal of the team this season is not to create a record. It is very good to be able to create a record. If you can't, don't put too much pressure on it. The previous The winning streak, the players are under too much pressure, now that the winning streak is over, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. Starting from the beginning, there may not be no chance to break the record in the future."

Although the Raptors lost the game, they still have a record of 31 wins and 2 losses, far ahead in the league record rankings.

On December 12, the Raptors ushered in the last game of 30, against the league's top Atlanta Hawks.

In this game, the Raptors didn't give their opponents any chance at home. They didn't worry about the loss of the last game. Instead, they became more morale, beat their opponents, and refused to lose streak!

After the game, Raptors coach Devin Casey said: "Because of the previous winning streak, the players were under a lot of pressure because of their own and the expectations of the outside world. Now that the pressure has dissipated, everyone can work hard for the team's season goals No need to think too much, the performance may be even better."

For the first game of 2018, the Raptors will host the Milwaukee Bucks on January 1.

The Bucks traded blood cloth this season, coupled with the growth of Antetokounmpo and Middleton, they have gradually become a force that cannot be underestimated in the East.
