The other five are Wilt Chamberlain with 100 points, Kobe Bryant with 81 points, David Thompson with 73 points and Elgin Baylor and David Robinson with 71 points, Anxi scored 72 points, becoming the sixth player to score 70+ points, and at the same time, his 72 points are second only to Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant and David Thompson, ranking fourth all-time.
Although he failed to break any records, Anxi's 72 points still stood at the top of history.
The Cavaliers have become a stepping stone, LeBron James has also become a background, and even fans in later generations can add a sentence to Anxi when judging the historical status: "Anxi scored 72 points above LeBron James's head, and this move made him completely leave LeBron James behind......"
After the game, Anxi was once again sought after, scoring 72 points at the Quickloan Arena to make LeBron James lose face, which was obviously an exciting moment.
Anxi didn't go to the press conference, he was surrounded by a group of reporters at the entrance of the players' tunnel, and the Cavaliers fans on both sides of the player's tunnel didn't have the heart to go against Anxi, and left the court one after another.
On the other side, LeBron James pretended to answer two or three questions from reporters with great grace, then waved his hand impatiently and forcibly left the scene.
He did lose face in this game, although Anxi was not his main defense, but as Anxi's real opponent, LeBron James actually let Anxi score a 72 points, which means a lot.
First of all, LeBron James, who was originally expected to win the regular season MVP, is now no match for Anxi no matter what, because he lost too badly in the direct confrontation with Anxi.
Secondly, another victory of the 76ers proves that if the Cavaliers do not want to solve the point of Anxi, even if the other players of the 76ers cannot open in the future, Anxi will force the team to win by himself.
The process and the final result of this match proved that.
In the seven years of the Cavaliers, LeBron James fell in the East, only once broke out of the East, and when he reached the Heat, he rushed to the end almost every year for four years, but he met the Spurs, and successive failures led to the Chosen Son of the year, who had nothing in the 11 years since he entered the NBA. Now, back in his first year with the Cavaliers, he seems even more desperate, and even with the help of Kelly Irving and Kevin Love, it will be difficult for him to win another championship.
Because now the mountain standing in front of him has become Anxi.
After the game, USA Today reported that they directly compared Anxi to Michael Jordan, and LeBron James was Charles Barkley at the time.
They wrote: "GDP is like the bad boy army of the year, before Anxi's rise, they won three championships and suppressed Anxi as teammates, but then, Anxi left Philadelphia and started his own legend." ”
At this time, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony and Devine Wade are like Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, they were all suppressed by Anxi, and they were completely suppressed, the 76ers will be the bulls of the 21st century, and a dynasty has emerged. ”
In the face of the crazy poisonous milk in today's United States, Anxi seems very modest.
When the whole report was popular in the United States, Anxi was interviewed by the media again, and he modestly said: "I am not the contemporary Michael Jordan, I am just myself, I don't know what I can achieve, I will only go my own way." ”
Go your own way, this is one of Anxi's current requirements for himself, he knows very well that he is strong now, but the NBA is a place to look at honors, and when he retires after ten years, everyone only remembers his honors, those MVPs, and those championships.
Therefore, Anxi, who now only has three championships and a finals MVP, needs further efforts, he is still a big gap from Michael Jordan, the title of contemporary Michael Jordan, he can't be now, and he won't want it in the future.
After beating the Cavaliers twice this season, the 76ers continued to play on the road, challenging the Pistons on the road.
The match was a back-to-back match, but Anxi was red-eyed, and after reaching the 72-point achievement, he began to sprint towards the achievement of consecutive high scores.
In the face of Caldwell Pope's defense, Anxi shot 17 of 34 in the whole game, and scored 53 points, three consecutive 50+ games, and the whole of North America was a little explosive.
Anxi, who scored high points in a row, seems to be unstoppable, and the opponent of the 76ers in the next game is the Pelicans, who have weak outside defense, so many people think that if Anxi really wants to brush, Kobe Bryant's four consecutive 50+ games that year are likely to be tied by Anxi.
Of course Anxi wants to brush, he wants to try to see if breaking the streak record will upgrade the system, anyway, it is just to brush a high score, at most tired, and he will not lose anything else, so it doesn't hurt to try.
However, Brett Brown is a little reluctant to let Anxi score points, for the simple reason that the regular season has now advanced to mid-January, that is, before the All-Star Weekend, which is the peak of the player's own form, but also the period when the player is most vulnerable to injury.
Many star players are getting hotter and hotter during this time, and they are playing longer and longer, and finally suffer serious injuries due to excessive fatigue.
Brett Brown didn't want Anxi to continue to score points, he even let Anxi rest in this game against the Pelicans, but Anxi had a strong desire to play, and he could only compromise.
In the battle against the Pelicans, Anxi continued to break out, this time he had a targeted outburst, so in the first quarter, Anxi, who was in good shape, made 11 shots, hit 9 balls, and scored 20 points.
The Pelicans didn't want to be a stepping stone for Anxi to make history, so they fought back and let Tyrek Evans, Quincy Pondsek, Dante Cunningham and others take turns to defend Anxi, but the effect was not too good, and Anxi played half of the time in the second quarter, scoring 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting.
At this point, at the end of the half, Anxi made 13 of 18 shots and scored 32 points in the half.
In the second half, the 76ers led the Pelicans by 10 points, and An Xi knew very well that he had to have a big explosion in the third quarter, otherwise after three quarters, the point difference continued to widen, and he would have no chance to brush up the score.
So at the beginning of the third quarter, Anxi shot wildly.
At the beginning of the game, he didn't feel good, and a wave of four irons scared Brett Brown called a timeout, but An Xi waved his hand and signaled that it was okay.
Then, after the timeout, Anxi hit four consecutive hits, plus free throws, and scored 11 points again, and his personal score has risen to 42 points.
In the second half of the third quarter, Anxi made another 4-of-9 shot, adding 10 points to himself, and the game was over.
The Pelicans replaced all the main players, and Anxi also left the court contentedly with a 52-point score.
Four consecutive 50+ matches!
