分析 本文主要讲述利福尼亚州湖人队在NBA一个赛季中遍赢了73场比赛，这场比赛对篮球迷来说是令人惊叹的．
解答 61．expectations 考查名词复数．lived up to是及物动词短语，后接名词作宾语，expectation是可数名词，不止一个期望，用复数形式．
62．will be talked 考查动词时态和语态．先行词a pair of performances与talk之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，且根据句中时间状语for years to come用一般将来时，即一般将来时的被动语态．
63．to win 考查动词不定式．此处动词不定式作后置定语修饰team．
64．surprising 考查形容词．fashion是名词，用形容词化的现在分词作定语．
65．sports 考查形容词．sports fan意为""，是固定搭配．
66．after 考查介词．根据句意：比赛后大约一小时．用介词after．
67．it 考查代词．it指代前文提到的uniform．
68．unbelievable 考查形容词．根据上下文语境应是：如此难以置信的记录．用形容词unbelievable．
69．obviously 考查副词．修饰句子要用副词．
70．but 考查连词． the Warriors和not Bryant之间是转折关系，用连词but．
