Chapter 760 [Historical Record, Sixteen Consecutive Victories]
In the end, 121-100, the Knicks won away.
At the post-match press conference, all reporters wanted to interview Zhou Xuan. That's the way the NBA is, when someone hits a superstat, the media touts it.
Zhou Xuan had 42 points, 1 rebound, 21 assists and 2 steals, and Paul finished with 24 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists. Paul's performance is also at the star level, but unfortunately it is nothing compared to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan once again topped the NBA list and became one of the most dominant defenders. Of course, Zhou Xuan's data can't catch up with many predecessors.
Taking stock of the 40+20 list in NBA history, there is one person whose name has to be mentioned, that is, Wilt Chamberlain, who once scored 100 points in a single game, and he grabbed 25 rebounds at the same time in that game.
Chamberlain is undoubtedly the most dominant player in the NBA on the stat sheet of the last century.
Not only does he excel in scoring, but he also stands out in rebounding. In 1962, Chamberlain, who played for the Philadelphia Warriors, played for the New York Knicks, where he shot 36-of-63 and 28-of-32 from the free-throw line, scoring 100 points and 25 rebounds to help the team win 169-147. The data of 100+25 is unlikely to be broken in a hundred years from the current format.
In addition, Chamberlain had 41 points and 40 rebounds against the Syracuse Nationals on November 4, 1959; 39 points and 43 rebounds against the Knicks on November 10, 1959; 44 points and 42 rebounds against the Boston Celtics on January 15, 1960; On January 25, 1960, he scored 58 points and 42 rebounds against the Detroit Pistons...... Stats like these are numerous in Chamberlain's career, and there were no block statistics at that time, otherwise he might have had a double-double block.
After the 80s, Charles Barkley was one of the most dominant players under the basket, and he contributed 40+20 stats four times. In addition, Larry Bird, Patrick Ewing, Moses Malone, Hakim Olajuwon, and others have left their names on the list.
In 1992, O'Neal entered the league, and he contributed 40+20 a total of 8 times, including 61 points and 23 rebounds in the game against the Clippers on March 6, 2000.
On January 5, 2001, Chris Webber represented the Kings and scored 51 points and 26 rebounds against the Pacers, and he is also the only person in the NBA to score 50+25 in the NBA in the last 25 years.
However, the above group of people are almost all insiders, and Zhou Xuan is the only one who enters the list with assists, and the magician has never reached this height, he is only 37+20.
Zhou Xuan's shooting was also very accurate, 16 of 26 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws, with an amazing efficiency value. The Clippers are the third-best team in the West, and there is no such thing as playing a weak team to brush up on statistics.
The reporter asked: "You won the super stats in Los Angeles again, would you think that Staples Arena is your blessed land?" ”
"Maybe, I like it here, I have a stronger motivation to win here, because there are a lot of friends in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, they are there to watch, and I want to perform more." Zhou Xuan said.
The reporter asked: "There has never been a 40+20 scoring assist, do you think you can compare with those basketball legends?" ”
Zhou Xuan smiled: "Let's talk about this when I get a few more championship rings." ”
Clippers coach Negro commented on the game: "It's just a regular season game, Zhou Xuan is in very good shape, I don't think he will be like this every game, otherwise the Knicks have already locked up the championship." Next time, I'm sure we'll win. ”
I just don't know if it's the finals next time, or next season. The next game of the Clippers will have no Negro is unknown, and it would be inappropriate to say "we".
After the game, stars and basketball experts also made comments.
Yao Ming is now back in Shanghai, but he is still following NBA games and giving interviews. He said: "I wouldn't be surprised that Zhou Xuan averaged 30+10 per game, he is such an amazing person, I feel that he is improving every season." As long as he is guaranteed to play more than 35 minutes, I think he may compete for the scoring title or the assist title every season, and it is not impossible for the two to win together. ”
Deron Williams complained: "The Knicks' tactics are all arranged for him, so he can play luxury stats, and that's not his credit alone." I'm depressed that the playoffs haven't started yet, why a lot of people think we're lost, and I believe the Nets can beat the Knicks. ”
"We beat the Knicks this year, they have a strong offense, the defense is not without flaws, and this season, I will try to beat Zhou Xuan," James said. ”
"Magic" Johnson said: "This is completely his personal performance, Paul is not as good as Zhou Xuan, there is no need to doubt this." ”
"The Knicks are the main opponent of the Spurs, and I'm sure they're going to make it to the Finals, and so are we," Popovich said. ”
There are also many veterans who have been interviewed, all of whom are touting Zhou Xuan, their state is declining, and now they hope to hug their thighs to win a championship, but it is still a question whether the Knicks can look at them. Now the Knicks have a full lineup and there is no shortage of people.
While supporting Zhou Xuan online, fans told their wishes.
Fan "Scoring King Du Schoolbag" said: "It would be nice if everyone played like this." ”
The fan "Boss, you elbow first" said: "The two teams in Los Angeles can't get up now, right?" 42 points and 21 assists, the efficiency is much better than playing a weak team and brushing 81 points. ”
The fan downstairs "gfdgfd" replied: "Dark volute, I wiped it, didn't you see the two assists of the volute's wild slash?" ”
The fans "oh noisy": "The mage is mighty, he will win the championship this year, kneel to the great god." ”
After a lively day, it made headlines, and the media gradually calmed down.
If other players play this kind of data, it will blow for at least a week. Zhou Xuan scored 72 points against the Lakers, and this time it will not be too surprising.
Chandler has been diagnosed with a sprained knee and will be sidelined for about two weeks without affecting the playoffs. In order to make his recovery better, the medical team decided to keep him out of the regular season. In case of a comeback injury, the consequences are something that the Knicks can't afford.
The Knicks have a favorable schedule, and even if the interior defense becomes weaker, they should be able to win by fighting offensively.
On the 21st, the Knicks easily defeated the Magic at home, and Zhou Xuan played super high efficiency again, scoring 18 points and 15 assists in 30 minutes, and rested off the court in the fourth quarter.
On the 23rd and 24th, they played two games against the Raptors home and away, and the Knicks also won easily.
Rudy Gay, who was traded from the Kings, was sidelined due to injury, and the Raptors had a 26-44 record and started to mess around. They have their sights set on next season, trading Biedrins' expiring contract so they can bolster their roster.
Against the Celtics after the trade on the 27th, the Knicks also won easily. The Big Three are gone, Rondo is out for the season, and the Celtics have instantly become a weak team that everyone is bullying about.
The teams with the biggest medium-term trade moves are the Celtics and the Nets, and the Celtics sent away the two giants, but they didn't get any good chips, and the fans were embarrassed. The purpose of their trade is simply to get Humphries' expiring contract, as well as to clear Pierce and Garnett and free up salary space.
And I didn't hear the Celtics shouting for the top spot in the past two years, and I didn't hear the voices of the supergiants who will compete for James next year. I don't know what kind of criterion is followed in the current reconstruction, is it just to free up the position of the second elder so that young people can have more opportunities to show? On the whole, I think the Celtics are moving a lot, but it feels like the rebuilding idea is very messy, and if you build a team around Rondo, it is definitely self-defeating.
On the 28th, the Knicks encountered stubborn resistance against the Grizzlies at home, and the result was that Zhou Xuan played a terrifying statistic of 33 points and 22 assists at home.
Gasol Jr. has been recognized for his defensive ability this season, but he belongs to the type of interior resistance, and the defense and pick-and-roll are still mainly relied on Zach Randolph. The double-fat inside line is very passive against a team like the Knicks who shoots three-pointers from the outside.
Because Chandler was injured and absent, and the Knicks couldn't prevent the Grizzlies from being on the inside, the two sides fought to attack until the last quarter. The Grizzlies have obvious advantages this season, and their defense is very strong, especially after the arrival of Prince, it is difficult to break through the outside line composed of Tony Allen and Conley, and the Knicks' offense is almost all initiated by Zhou Xuan.
Facing the Grizzlies, who are the No. 1 defensive team this season, won super data, Zhou Xuan once again proved his strength.
On March 30, the Knicks played Bobcats at home, and Zhou Xuan scored 37 points and 7 assists, destroying the Bobcats' new star Kemba Walker. It is difficult for a team that does not have a defensive interior line to prevent Zhou Xuan.
Pekovic has been consistent this season, 20. 7 points 10. 4 rebounds 1. 6 assists 1. 3 blocks, he didn't make the All-Star Game, and it was no problem to get a big contract in the summer.
The regular season entered the final stage, and Zhou Xuan won the best player in the East in March with beautiful data. Entering April, the Knicks won 16 games in a row, only losing to the Thunder on the 7th.
Westbrook recorded a near-triple-double of 37 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, and his pull-up jumper became more and more assured, earning high praise among guards, far outshadowing Rose's reimbursement.
Durant is likely to win the scoring title this season, and also cut 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, plus Ibaka's outstanding performance of 13 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks, the Thunder beat the Knicks by 14 points.
Losing by more than 10 points is a fiasco for the Knicks. Under the intensive care of Westbrook and Ibaka, Zhou Xuan's performance was also average, and after a series of outbursts, he finally had a fire-out.
After the game, Westbrook was arrogant and said that if they met the Knicks again in the Finals, they were confident of winning the championship.
Durant is also very confident in the playoffs, although looking at the depth of the roster, the Thunder are not as good as the Spurs and Clippers.
Zhou Xuan blessed Thunder very graciously. "They have a strong star, they have a good balance in attack and defence, they are a tough team to play against, and I wish them all the best in the playoffs."
Since the opponent is happy to win, he doesn't want to say the blow, which seems to be hard-mouthed. But Zhou Xuan is not optimistic about the Thunder in his heart, and the era of relying only on stars has passed. Their weaknesses are obvious, and once they kill a star, no one else can step up and score. This defeat was also on the premise of Chandler's absence.
