Chapter 452: Setting Up for Summer

When people discovered that the Supersonics' record matched that of the '96 Bulls at the same time, the pursuit of historical records became a common aspiration.

After all, it's been 13 years since the '96 Bulls.

One could say fans have changed more than just one generation.

Apart from Bulls fans, few look back on the '96 Bulls' games; everyone knows this history, but history exists to propel people forward.

Focusing solely on history itself is destined to be boring.

Fans want to witness brand-new history.

This gave the Supersonics a burden—the world's expectation was that, even if they couldn't break the '96 Bulls' record, they should at least match it.

However, what people didn't realize was that the competitive environment the Supersonics faced was much more intense than that of the '96 Bulls.

The '96 Bulls' Eastern Conference had only themselves and the 60-win Magic; beyond that was the 52-win Pacers, with the rest all under 50 wins.
