Chapter 202: Eighty-eight minutes of a miracle
Liu Han increased the number of times he burst into the basket in this quarter of the game, because the Mavericks on the outside hoarded a large number of troops to surround Liu Han, at this time, Liu Han as long as he took the ball for a short period of time he would be surrounded by the opponent's defense, so Liu Han began to play under the basket interestingly, and if he could shoot, he would make a foul if he couldn't, and kill the opponent's vital force.
Liu Han's style of play finally came into play in the second half of the third quarter, Hubert, who had been defending Liu Han, first had to go off the court after four fouls, and then Bradley on the inside had to go off the court after five fouls. The Lakers finally relied on Liu Han's excellent play to gradually pull the score away.
At this time, Liu Han's score was close to 70 points, and after completing a two-plus one that broke into the basket, Liu Han's score finally came to 68 points.
In the history of the NBA, Wilt Chamberlain repeatedly set magical scoring records in the sixties, such as his 100 points in the game between the Philadelphia Warriors and the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962, but this data has always been suspected by many to be impossible, and in addition to the data of the "ancient" period in the sixties, the most recent scoring record is 73 points in a single game set by David Thompson in 1978 and 69 points in a single game set by Michael Jordan in 1990. and 71 points in a single game in 1994 when David Robinson scored the scoring title with the help of his teammates. Liu Han has scored 68 points with a little more than a quarter to go, and he has a good chance of creating a new miracle.
With less than two minutes left in the third quarter, the Lakers led the Mavericks by 13 points, which is not a relatively safe number, and 13 points could be tied by just three to four minutes of game time for the bombarded team.
Liu Han was replaced by George Krent for a short rest, and he played almost the whole game today.
After Liu Han left the court, the Mavericks took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack to try to catch up with the score, and the rest of the Lakers players did not want to make Liu Han's high scoring full of regrets, they began to strengthen their defense and hit the interior many times in the offense. Now that the Mavericks are without Bradley on the inside, the Lakers can safely attack the interior.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han appeared again, and he rested for about seven minutes, but this is about the same, and now Liu Han's physical fitness is very sufficient.
After coming on the court, Liu Han did not attack the inside again, but used the Mavericks' inertial thinking to shoot three-point shots from the outside, so that his score came to 71 points, which has surpassed Jordan and tied David Robinson. In front of Liu Han are only David Thompson's 73 points and Wilt Chamberlain's scoring record in the NBA's "ancient times".
At this point in the game, the Mavericks actually had no desire to win, they just wanted to prevent Liu Han from scoring, and there was probably only Van Exel, a guy with thick nerves, who still wanted to win the game, but "Fan Maniac" was also very good today, and he also scored 49 points, close to 50 points.
Van Exel still used his teammates' cover to shoot from beyond the three-point line, and his score came to 52 points. The gap between the two sides was reduced to nine points, and the Mavericks saw hope of victory.
However, Liu Han stepped up again, using O'Neal's cover to evade the substitute Strickland defence, and then a feint induced Kehalid Reeves jumped up to try to block Liu Han. Liu Han raised his right arm with the ball in both hands and jumped up when Levi fell, Levi tried his best to avoid Liu Han, but still let Liu Han touch his falling right arm, at this time, if Levi was experienced, he should have pulled Liu Han down completely, but he was really scared by Liu Han's scoring efficiency today, and there was only one idea in his mind to dodge.
Liu Han relied on his left wrist to make a three-point shot at the same time as Levi's touched him, and the ball was very flat because of interference, but under the gaze of everyone on the court, the basketball did not touch anything else and plunged into the net.
The referee's whistle blew and it was another very exciting triple plus one. Liu Han left an indelible impression on several of the Mavericks' outside players today.
At this time, the fanatical fans behind the Mavericks' basket no longer booed Liu Han who made free throws, their eyes were full of sad blankness, and they didn't know what was wrong with the Mavericks, so they let Liu Han be humiliated alone.
After the free throws were securely made, Liu Han surpassed David Thompson to score 75 points, which is the second player since Chamberlain to score this point.
However, Liu Han's scoring performance was not over, and when the Mavericks kept the score tight, Liu Han had to attack the Mavericks' basket again and again.
However, Liu Han's physical strength is still a lot today, and he rarely shoots with all his strength in other games like today, even if he shoots with all his strength, he will stop after opening the score, and now the strength of the entire team of the Lakers is improving rapidly, so Liu Han's performance like this is getting less and less. However, today Liu Han completely let go of his hands and feet, so his physical exertion was much greater than usual, so in the last period of the game, his shooting was not as accurate as at the beginning under the opponent's full force, but he still suppressed the Mavericks' scoring situation again and again with the help of his teammates.
With 4 minutes left in the game, Liu Han shot three points on the outside, causing the Mavericks to get up and block, but Liu Han suddenly passed the ball to O'Neal under the basket in the air, O'Neal saw Liu Han continue to run to the basket after receiving the ball, so he threw the ball high, Liu Han fell from the sky, completed the empty dunk, and he scored his 81st point.
The Mavericks' home court is completely silent, Liu Han has completed an incredible performance so far, in today's NBA games are becoming more and more intense, it is difficult for anyone to complete a scoring performance like Liu Han, David Robinson's 71 points in 94 was only scored with the support of the whole team.
At this time, some Mavericks fans began to withdraw from the game, but Van Exel did not give up, he broke into the Lakers inside again and then distributed the ball to the outside, Hubert, who had five fouls, scored three points with a knife, and the gap in the score narrowed to 11 points, and the Mavericks still had hope of turning the tables.
At this time, Liu Han once again turned into a ruthless killer, and he used a bayonet to completely stab the Mavericks in the heart.
Liu Han first burst into the basket and caused Bradley to be fouled for the sixth time, and Liu Han, who scored two free throws, has already scored 83 points. Then he took advantage of the Mavericks' baseline service to steal Van Exel's shot, and hit again outside the three-point line, the score gap was completely widened, and the Mavericks lost hope of turning the tables.
Liu Han was replaced at the end of the game with two minutes left, and before being replaced, he made two more free throws to increase his score to 88 points, a record that looks like no one will ever break again, and the Mavericks players on the sidelines looked a little dazed, and they couldn't even remember what happened, while the Lakers were jubilant, everyone hugged Liu Han, and they knew that Liu Han would appear in all the newspaper headlines in the United States the next day.
