Chapitre 106: Chapter 106 Ticket Prices Skyrocket! The NBA’s Longest Winning Streak
Back in the locker room, Tang Lei and Curry received a celebratory water dousing. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and camaraderie, transforming the room into an impromptu party scene! This epic comeback victory undoubtedly boosted the entire Warriors team's spirits.
After the celebration, Tang Lei headed to the showers, and while washing up, the familiar ding of the system's notification sounded.
[Congratulations, host, on winning a regular season game! Attribute points +1, system coins +2.]
[Congratulations, host! By hitting six consecutive three-pointers in the clutch and scoring 20 points, you've broken the NBA's record for the quickest time to achieve 20 points, earning +3 attribute points and +6 system coins.]
"Attribute points are good, but these system coins… I lost quite a few," Tang Lei muttered, tapping his forehead. He had spent a total of 110 coins to activate both the Miller and McGrady moments but only recouped 8 coins—leaving him 102 coins short.
But, remembering Curry and his teammates' ecstatic reactions, Tang Lei felt it was worth it. After all, opportunities to break the NBA's all-time winning streak don't come around often. Tang Lei had no regrets about using both legendary moments here; system coins are meant to be spent, especially in such a crucial moment for the winning streak. Who knows? Perhaps the system might surprise him with a reward if they break the NBA's record!
"System, open the attribute panel!" Tang Lei instructed.
"Opening the system for you, host..."

Accumulating 5 points from the previous five wins and another 4 from today's game, Tang Lei now had 9 attribute points. After careful thought, he decided to allocate them all to Control. Drive and Speed were already at elite levels, but his control still lagged behind top-tier guards, and in today's game against the Nuggets, he'd been stripped of the ball by some defensive veterans.
Improving his control would allow him to pull off smooth, dramatic moves like crossover into jump shots, making mismatches against players like Durant a thing of the past. Satisfied with his attributes, Tang Lei couldn't help but wonder what he'd be like when all his attributes finally reached 100.
After showering, Tang Lei joined Curry for the post-game press conference. The questions were challenging, but Tang Lei's humor helped him navigate the tough ones with ease. After all, he had learned from books like *The Art of the Wolf*, *The Way of the Ghost Valley*, and *The Making of Business Charm*. The experience of two lifetimes made these trick questions feel trivial.
After the interviews, Tang Lei returned with the team to their hotel. The entire team was exhausted, their spirits having been pushed to the limits. Although two more road games awaited, there was a two-day break in between, so they could rest before departing the following afternoon.
Upon arrival, the Warriors officially updated Klay Thompson's injury status. Since leaving the game, Klay had been rushed to the best local hospital for immediate assessment. After tests, it was determined he had a minor meniscus injury and would need two to three weeks of rest, ruling him out for the next two games. The Warriors breathed a collective sigh of relief—no structural damage meant they had avoided a worst-case scenario.
Klay's fans and his sponsor, Anta, were also relieved by the news. For Anta, a long-term contract with Klay meant any severe injury, especially one sidelining him for the season, would be a major setback. Media exposure and endorsements would plummet during his recovery. Luckily, two to three weeks of rest would be sufficient!
Although most were relieved, Tang Lei felt slightly worried. Even a minor meniscus injury could become a risk factor for future injuries. However, there was no feasible way for him to protect Klay indefinitely. He had no authority to control Klay's playing time, and a professional athlete must compete as long as they're signed. Shaking his head, Tang Lei accepted the uncertainty.
After all, his entry into the Warriors had already created a butterfly effect; it was no longer the timeline he remembered. In his previous life, Klay hadn't been injured at this time, yet now he was.
"Looks like many challenges await me in the future," Tang Lei mused. Even with a spot on the Warriors, championships weren't as easily within reach as he'd thought. In the NBA, losing a core player in the playoffs could significantly set any team back—even elite teams like the Warriors. The era of team-focused success like the Pistons was almost extinct.
Back in his hotel room, Tang Lei scrolled through the news coverage. The Chinese media had already hailed him as a hero, dubbing this the "Tang Lei Moment." Fans even made clever calculations equating Tang Lei's performance to "McGrady Moment + Miller Moment - 1!"
"Hey, Tang, are you still awake? Just finished study hall and saw your highlight reel. It's incredible! Congratulations on leading the Warriors to victory again!" read a message from Carline.
"Still awake, just waiting to go to bed at the same time as you," Tang Lei replied with a grin.
"Get out of here! Talking nonsense!"
"What were you thinking? I meant I'd sleep at the same time, no dirty thoughts allowed!"
"A shared bedtime means that? Never knew…"
The two kept chatting as if they'd had an endless supply of gum, unable to stop. Their connection had clearly deepened, almost reaching the level of a romantic relationship, so Tang Lei's playful jokes didn't bother Caroline. In fact, his charm was through the roof.
As expected, the Warriors secured their next two games effortlessly. Their winning streak soared to 33 games, matching the NBA's all-time longest streak. This time, the team didn't celebrate—everyone's mind was solely focused on one goal: to win at home against the Kings and make history. Tying the record wasn't enough; breaking it was their real aim.
Tickets for Oracle Arena skyrocketed. Prices weren't just up by one or two times but by five times at minimum! Even a VIP seat reached $200,000. Despite the high prices, seats sold out instantly, with fans eager to witness this historic moment—the most significant achievement in the history of the NBA!
