Chapter Eighty-Eight: Precursor

PS: Thanks for the 100 starting coins of Witchcraft with the Wind!

――――――

Although the Knicks didn't score for the last two minutes, with an eight-point lead, they had the last laugh.

Yi Feng failed to hit the kill, which was the first chance of his career.

If he can shoot the final three-pointer, then he will become the rookie with the most points in a single game in NBA history!

It's a pity, it's a pity!

Although he scored a career-high score of 57 points, Yi Feng did not have the slightest smile on his face at the post-game press conference.

The New York Times reporter was even more provocative, "Yi Feng, you scored 57 points in this game, which is not only the highest score of your career, but also the current season high in the league." But if you miss the last shot, the stats don't make sense. Is there anything you'd like to say about that final shot? ”

Yi Feng is accustomed to these reporters always hiding witty questions, although he is in a bad mood, he still has to do a good response.

"The Knicks are a great opponent, you have a top superstar like Carmelo Anthony who can make the difference in a game on his own, and even if we try our best, we have no hope of winning."

"In the end, if it weren't for some minor problems with the Knicks' offense, then I wouldn't have had a chance to kill."

"It was my first strike in my career and to be honest I felt excited. But I was frustrated when I couldn't make a shot. After all, such opportunities don't happen very often. ”

A reporter from the New York Daily News asked: "What do you think about Carmelo Anthony's play in this game?" ”

Yi Feng exclaimed: "He is the strongest offensive superstar I have ever seen, there is no solution on the offensive end, and I can't stop him even if I try my best." I fouled him 3 times, but he scored 37 points on my head! And there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"Sometimes, you have to admit that something is unstoppable. Cameron is just such a person. ”

Coincidentally, Cameron Anthony was also asked by reporters about Yi Feng's evaluation.

Anthony replied, "Honestly, I still can't believe my eyes. Look what this guy has done! He played against us and scored 57 points on their heads! Oh my god, he's just a rookie! When I was a rookie, the highest score I ever scored was 41 points! ”

"He's a phenomenal rookie and he's going to be a great guy in the future."

At the end, Anthony added: "Winning the game should have been fun. But we won't have it easy. Although we have been in the driver's seat, we have no points. This has something to do with the stubbornness of the opponent, but it also shows that we have our own problems. ”

"After winning this game, we can't take it lightly. As you know, we haven't had a good record since the new season and I think we should take advantage of it. ”

The next day, the results of the match were reported in the newspapers.

Unlike the previous unanimous eulogy, this report has three different voices.

The Los Angeles Times remains a staunch eugist:

57 points in a single game!

Needless to say, Yi's performance is great.

Let's look at history, how many people were able to score 50 points in a single game in their rookie season?

9 pcs!

Only 9 of them!

Let's keep our eyes open and see who these people are.

Wilt Chamberlain, Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Elgin Baylor, Blanton Jennings, Elvin Hayes, Reem Abdul-Jabbar, Alan Iverson, and Yifeng.

The top scorer of the nine was Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 58 points in two games in January and February 1960.

The lowest scorer was Allen Iverson, who scored 50 points on April 12, 1997, in a game against the Cavaliers by the 76ers.

As a result, Yi Feng, who scored 57 points, is second only to Wilt Chamberlain and second on the rookie single-game scoring list, beating Rick Barry, Earl Monroe, Elgin Baylor and other scoring maniacs.

If you're still lamenting that you can become the all-time number one by one point, then you don't have to.

Let's look at other aspects of the data.

Among those who scored more than 50 points in these nine rookie seasons, the only active players were Brandon Jennings and Yi Feng.

Brandon Jennings scored 55 points on Nov. 15, 2009, in the Warriors' game against the Bucks. At just 20 years and 49 days old, he surpassed LeBron James to become the youngest Mr. 50 in NBA history.

And now, Yi Feng, who is only 19 years and 186 days old, has surpassed Brandon Jennings to become the new youngest Mr. 50 points! It has also improved the record by more than half a year!

LeBron James, who scored 56 points at the age of 20 years and 80 days, can only settle for third place on this list.

Don't just stare at Wilt Chamberlain's 100 points per game, and don't just think about Kobe Bryant's 81 points per game. In the NBA, scoring 50 points in a game is not easy.

Especially when the player was a young rookie.

Since 1986, there have been only six players under the age of 21 who have scored 50 or more points, including LeBron James three times, Allen Iverson once (April 12, 1997, against the Cavaliers), Jamal Marsh once (November 12, 1994, against the Bulls), and Brandon Jennings once (November 15, 2009, against the Warriors).

Even at the age of 21, there are not many people who can score 50 points. It can be seen how great Yi is to cut 57 points at the age of 19. The potential he has is endless, and only the sky is his limit.

You don't have to worry anymore that he can't overtake Wilt Chamberlain and become the all-time first. I believe that in the near future, he will not disappoint you!

The Chicago Tribune is quintessentially centrist:

It was a very ordinary regular season, and although it was broadcast live across the United States because of the matchup between Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, Kobe's absence made this game a lot less focused on before the start of the season.

Those fans who temporarily abandoned this game may have missed out on the great performance that is only once in a lifetime. Lakers youngster Yi Feng scored 57 points in the game, and if it wasn't for the failure to hit the last shot, it would have been an epic game.

As this year's champion show, Yifeng has always attracted much attention. All along, his performance has been remarkable. The youngest weekly best, the youngest triple-double, and now the youngest Mr. 50 points.

Along the way, he conquered almost everyone as a king. There's no better place for the god of basketball than here.

This also makes many people can't help but start worrying, will he just be a shooting star, and the rookie is the peak? Glory is the beginning of the fall?

Although it seems to have infinite potential, it is actually just a strong outsider?

Or will you be jealous and injured because your talent is too strong?

Whether he's the next league king or a suffocating genius will have to wait and see.

The New York Times is an out-and-out mocker:

57 points in a single game, second only to Wilt Chamberlain's super scoring show!

The youngest Mr. 50 points, what a terrible talent!

The world admires his greatness, but they don't know what is hidden under his dazzling statistics.

57 points, a season high.

Indeed, in this era of basketball, which is becoming more and more about sharing the ball, it is very rare to score 50 points.

Now is no longer the era when the star can win by throwing the ball wildly, and when Kobe Bryant squeezed O'Neal to lead the team alone, he scored crazy but couldn't make the playoffs, which has said it all.

Yi Feng only provided three assists in the game, and all of them happened in the first half. There wasn't even a single assist in the second half. As long as he is on the field, the ball is almost always in his hands.

With a lot of shots, how can you not feed a high score?

He made 22 of 45 shots from the field, 5-of-13 from three-point range and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.

45 shots, as long as you are an NBA player, you can get a high score, right?

However, not every NBA player is as lucky as a Lakers player, and unlimited shooting rights are not available to everyone. So, there is only one Kobe.

But Lakers fans don't need to worry either, the next Kobe Bryant is on the horizon.

Let's take a look at the so-called youngest Mr. 50 points.

The last person to win this title was Brandon Jennings, the No. 10 pick in 2009.

When he scored 55 points in his rookie season, it was widely believed that he was the next "answer."

However, except for that 55-point career masterpiece, he didn't have any impressive performances, and he didn't stand out from everyone.

At the end of the day, it was just luck that he scored 55 points.

NBA fans know that in 2009, the Warriors' defense was like a piece of paper, which broke when stabbed, and Jennings' 55 points against the Warriors was not very convincing.

Just like last night's Yi Feng, who scored 57 points against the Knicks, who were defenseless.

Such a big tumor with low scoring efficiency and no passing, the ceiling is a qualified starter, and what sky is the limit, it is a complete joke.

After getting off the plane and settling in at a hotel in Miami, Yi Feng saw such a news report.

Things turned out as he had predicted.

His performance of scoring 57 points in a single game cannot be said to be bad, but in the end, he was a little unlucky and did not hit the killer ball.

In the end, he lost the game, and the media wiped out all his credits, and tried every possible way to find black spots on him.

The higher I held it before, the darker it became now.

Fortunately, there are not many media outlets that do this now. But Yi Feng knows that in the future, there will be more and more media that hack him like this. Because he can't play perfectly in every game, he can't win every game.

After briefly browsing the other information, Yi Feng turned off the phone and rested.

What he didn't know was that the media in Los Angeles and New York had started a war of scolding because of him.

The Los Angeles media believes that Yi Feng scored 57 points with a total shooting rate of nearly 5 percent and a three-point shooting rate of nearly 4 percent and created Lakers history, which is highly efficient, without any black spots at all. Even if this is a big drop from his usual efficiency, it shows that his scoring efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people.

And what makes the Los Angeles media most angry is that New Yorkers pull Kobe out and criticize him when they have nothing to do, and they all use old things to hack him!

The very unhappy Los Angeles people made a black show that Anthony had never made it to the division finals since he came to the Knicks. And he is also a singles maniac, and when it comes to career assists per game, he is not as high as Kobe.

The New Yorkers did not show weakness and launched a counterattack......
