The God-level Steal in Sports Chapter 206

After the game against the Raptors, the Lakers continued their hot offensive efficiency, and their winning streak continued without any team being able to stop them.

“Seventy-six consecutive wins!”

“Seventy-seven consecutive wins!”

“Seventy-eight consecutive wins!”

“Seventy-nine consecutive wins!”

…

The record for an undefeated regular season was getting closer and closer.

At this time, the entire NBA league was focused on the Lakers. Each victory was a new best record for the regular season. As time passed, they were getting closer and closer to an undefeated season.

At first, NBA players thought the Lakers were just lucky, and that Zhou Feng’s strength might not be that great. But as the games progressed, all the players in the NBA gradually recognized Zhou Feng’s true strength.

Zhou Feng’s basketball ranking in the hearts of the players also began to rise steadily. From initially being ranked around fifty or sixty in the minds of most players, he was now a top-five player. Some players even considered Zhou Feng to be the strongest player in the NBA.

All of this was earned by Zhou Feng, leading the Lakers one step at a time.

Because no team initially favored the Lakers, and in fact, no one in the world believed the Lakers would achieve an undefeated regular season, the teams that had underestimated the Lakers during this period were all thoroughly convinced by Zhou Feng’s play.

Those who didn’t believe the Lakers could achieve an undefeated regular season also had a complete change of heart, now believing that an undefeated record for the Lakers was a foregone conclusion.

The last game of the regular season brought an even stronger opponent: the Boston Celtics.

This victory would mean that the Lakers would create an unprecedented record: an undefeated regular season in the NBA. If they lost, it would be incredibly regrettable, as they had won the previous eighty-one games and only had one left.

If they couldn’t achieve an undefeated season, that record would always feel a bit flawed, making Lakers fans uncomfortable, Lakers players uncomfortable, and Zhou Feng uncomfortable.

Zhou Feng would absolutely not allow anything that made him uncomfortable to happen. Therefore, the last game of the regular season was a must-win!

This confidence in victory was not unfounded.

Through the regular season’s tempering, Zhou Feng’s two-dimensional skills had become increasingly refined, especially the synergy between his skills. The effect they could produce even surpassed the original effects of the anime characters’ skills, because even in the two-dimensional world, no character could combine so many skills like Zhou Feng.

The cooperation between his skills had already achieved a synergy where one plus one was greater than two. Even when Zhou Feng summoned the two-dimensional character, Shintaro Midorima, for an hour of sparring recently, he managed to defeat him in the final moments.

This was the first time he had defeated a two-dimensional character in a long time. At that moment, Shintaro Midorima looked incredulous, then slowly accepted the fact. After all, he had trained with Zhou Feng more than once or twice, and each time he appeared, he noticed Zhou Feng’s progress.

Until, in this most recent direct confrontation, he defeated Shintaro Midorima.

In fact, during this period, Zhou Feng had not only summoned Shintaro Midorima, but also Tetsuya Kuroko, Tatsuya Himuro… He had already defeated all these two-dimensional players.

However, Shintaro Midorima was recognized as the strongest among those summoned recently, and now Zhou Feng had defeated him as well.

It could be said that currently, through the combination of his basketball skills, Zhou Feng was among the top six even in the two-dimensional world.

This was an astonishing level of strength. With such strength, it could be said that he had no opponents in the three-dimensional world. Perhaps the few top players in the NBA, forming a team together, might be able to truly compete with Zhou Feng.

This was just a “perhaps.” The true situation would only be known after a match, but given the abnormal power of his two-dimensional skills, Zhou Feng had a greater chance of winning.

…

The last game of the regular season was about to begin. The Lakers players were very relaxed overall, with smiles on everyone’s faces. Although they were facing the strong Celtics in the end, they still had absolute confidence in victory.

This confidence had been cultivated over time. The Lakers had faced strong teams more than once before this. No matter how much the outside world doubted or even attacked them, the Lakers always responded with the most powerful means: defeating their opponents.

The louder they boasted, the harder they fell.

In the end, teams in the NBA also became smarter and stopped boasting loudly. They knew that the louder they shouted their slogans, the more devastating their eventual loss would be. This had become an unwritten rule among NBA teams.

That was, when facing the Lakers, be as low-key as possible. There was no animosity before the game, but on the court, no team held back. They all went all out, wanting to end the Lakers’ undefeated streak.

Unlike the relaxed atmosphere of the Lakers, the Celtics’ atmosphere was much more solemn.

All the players on the court were training seriously. The entire vast arena was almost silent, which felt eerie.

At this moment, the Celtics’ head coach was not in the arena. Instead, he sat alone in the locker room, staring blankly at the wall, at the Celtics’ past glory.

It seemed a long time had passed. The players, having finished training, appeared in the locker room one after another.

Seeing their silent head coach, each player became relatively more cautious. The normally noisy locker room was much quieter.

Facing the Lakers, they didn’t have absolute confidence in victory, but their strength was undeniable. They wouldn’t let the Lakers easily achieve an undefeated regular season.

If the Celtics could end the Lakers’ winning streak in this game, it would undoubtedly be a very important game for the Celtics, one that would be remembered in NBA history.

If they lost this game, there would be no difference from the previous teams; they would just be a slightly tougher stepping stone.

The Celtics players had a strong resolve, a determination to win the game no matter what.
