Chapter 55: Goodbye 81 Points!!
This season in the West, the Lakers have already shown to be dominant, even the old powerhouse Spurs, or the rival Suns can't defeat the Purple and Gold.
The Lakers have risen strongly in the West, but in the East their old rivals, the Celtics, have also risen, and the rise is even stronger than that of the Lakers.
The Celtics not only have a Big Three, but also have Joe, who is known as the strongest rookie after Jordan. Because Joe is now doing something that even Jordan didn't do on the Lakers' home court.
I remember that the last time the Lakers were cut by 60 points at home was not far away, it was in 2006. On December 17, 2006, the Wizards played away against the Lakers, and "The General" Arenas scored a career-high 60 points, and scored 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals to lead the team to a 147-141 victory in overtime. Before that, only one person in history could score 60 or more points on the Lakers' home court, and Chamberlain once scored 65 points on the Lakers' home court in 1966.
Today however, Joe has overtaken these two and he has now scored 68 points!! With just two more points, he could even become the first man to score 70 points on the Lakers' home court.
The Lakers were beaten by Joe today, but now the goal of the Lakers players is also very clear, which is to do their best to prevent Joe from breaking 70 points. Victory or defeat is no longer the key, now face is a thing. What's more, Joe is now running for Kobe's 81 points. Kobe Bryant, of course, can't stand the fact that someone breaks his own record on his head.
Now the whole Celtics team is trying to find ways to achieve Joe alone, Rivers is also arranging tactics for Joe, for Joe, other players can pass the ball and never shoot, and the Lakers' defensive problems have been completely exposed. The absence of a good small forward makes the Lakers suffer greatly against the swingman at the guard.
Phil Jackson arranged tactics, still resolutely defending Joe, trapping him, and not letting him score. Rivers' offensive tactics were to run and shoot, grab the rebound and launch a fast break as soon as possible, and Joe tried to shoot in 5 seconds.
A quick counterattack is a good way to break the joint defense and break the bag. The Celtics players played most of the soy sauce today, and their bodies were still very abundant, much better than the Lakers players who desperately defended Joe.
After the timeout, the Celtics didn't let Joe continue to hold the ball, and Garnetra went to the high post to cover Ray Allen, who burst into the basket and attracted the defense to share the ball to Pierce. Pierce broke through with the ball, causing Odom to be fouled, and Odom left the field with six fouls. The Lakers lost the best choice for losing the defense of Joe, and it has to be mentioned that Joe alone gave Odom 4 fouls. Phil Jackson had no choice but to replace Luke Wharton as a small forward.
Without Odom's height advantage, Joe's jump shot would have been much easier, and his turnaround jumper was often hindered by Odom in this game. Luke Wharton, on the other hand, can only interfere slightly, and his bounce is not very good.
The throw-in was delivered, Ray Allen received the ball on the right side, Joe ran widely, and Ray Allen took the opportunity to pass the ball out. After Joe received the ball, he shot directly from outside the 3-point line, as if he was pushing the pass straight out. At this time, only Luke Wharton followed, and everyone else was on their way to participate. Joe was too quick though. The goal was also unreasonable. The goal made Joe a member of the 70+ club. Now Joe has a score of 71 and the Celtics lead by 105 points at 83:22!! The win is decided, now it's up to Joe to score more points.
Bryant burst inside, drew the defense and gave it to Gasol Jr. Pau Gasol scored on a jumper, 105-85.
The two sides played a few rounds, and Joe was heavily guarded and missed a quick shot for 3 points in a row. The Lakers also didn't shoot high, with only two goals scored by Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. Now the score is 105:89. With 3 and a half minutes to go, Joe is 10 minutes away from Kobe's 81 record. The Lakers didn't give up on packing Joe either. After all, there is Maddie's 35.13 seconds and deeds there, Joe is godlike enough today, who knows what else will happen.
Kobe Bryant missed a breakthrough layup, Ray Allen picked up the basketball and passed it to Joe, Joe's fast break attracted Luke Wharton and Fisher's bag defense, and passed to Ray Allen, who was unguarded on the left side, Ray Allen rushed to the basket, but did not go to the basket, but passed back to Joe.
Joe scored another 3 with a quick shot, this time without an iron, and his current personal score is 74 points!! Breaking the 1978 record of 73 points set by David Thompson, ranking 3rd all-time!!
Lakers players don't have potions like Joe and can run indefinitely. The Lakers players were almost tired and lay down, they were led by the nose by Joe all the time, and everyone moved as soon as Joe ran the position.
Kobe Bryant could score 81 points at that time, one is because of his good hand, and the other is that the Raptors players are so decadent that they don't look like defense, and Kobe still shoots desperately, it can be said that Kobe's 81 points are mainly in the case of 0 defense. Even so, Kobe Bryant felt that he was about to die of exhaustion, but Joe could still run under such strict precautions, is this still human?
Bryant missed a step-back jumper, and the Celtics hit back. Three-on-two in the frontcourt. Ray Allen passes to Pierce, who doesn't dunk in the face of an empty basket and then hands it to Joe, who follows up. Joe easily didn't go inside, but stopped shooting directly at the 3-point line and scored the 77th point!!
The balls applauded wildly, and at this time Joe was not a player of the Lakers. Kobe Bryant played the Raptors away from home, and they didn't see it, but this one was a legend that happened at Staples Arena. Although the protagonist is no longer Kobe, people always worship heroes. At this time, everyone was cheering for Joe.
People have always felt that 81 points is too far away, let alone Chamberlain's ancient record of 100 points. But how exhilarating it is when someone touches the edge of this god!!
In order to defend Ye Feng, the Lakers had a lot of holes, but the Celtics didn't score, it should be that Joe didn't score. Joe hit 4 more irons in a row. The score remained 111-89.
There are still four points to break the 81-point record, and with only 30 seconds left in the game, it is still possible for the players to pass the ball together. The audience shouted the slogan of 82 points. Don't forget that this is the home court of the Lakers, and the Lakers fans have actually defected.
Barkley sighed: "It was a magical game, Joe was so accurate, he only made 50 shots and hit 30 balls at most!" The hit rate is up to 60%. And Joe just hit so much iron in the last quarter. In the 4th quarter alone, Joe hit 10 irons!! You can see how accurate Joe is in the first 3 quarters! Joe's 3-point shooting percentage was average, shooting 8-of-20 and hitting 12 irons when he hit 3-pointers, but 8 3-pointers had 24 points!! The number of free throws was also staggering, with 15 of 16 free throws. ”
Bill Wharton laughed: "Joe's number is up and the rest of the people are the same, Perkins has 16 rebounds in this game, and Garnett has 8 rebounds in the frontcourt." Ray Allen and Pierce both had assists in double figures. ”
Barkley continued: "Joe's body is so good, he's been playing almost 48 minutes. He also made nearly all the most shots in the NBA, with Chamberlain making 36 of 63 shots in 1962. It was the right choice to broadcast this game live, and I think the audience must have enjoyed it now. ”
Indeed, many people are watching the live broadcast while posting on the Internet, and the number of new posts is covering the official forums of the NBA, and everyone is discussing whether Joe is crazy, and if the Lakers play an overtime, Joe may have more shots than Chamberlain.
Not only the local audience of Mei country, but also the Tianchao Channel 5 broadcast the game live, and at the same time, there was also Xinlang.com, and countless fans followed the game. They're going to see Joe break the record.
There have been many games in the history of the NBA, such as Jordan and Johnson who had a triple-double, and Robinson who scored 71 points against the Clippers. But there has never been a team like the Celtics so united, so, so blatant, the whole team, including the coach, has developed tactics to help Joe, what is the situation? Could it be that Joe is the son of a Celtic boss? to have such treatment.
Zhang said: "The Celtics played very unreasonably in this game, but regardless of whether Joe dominated the league in the future, at least he dominated the game today.
The Lakers attacked, and Kobe Bryant dribbled the ball. Hopefully, it will drag on for 24 seconds in the end, and then there will only be 6 seconds of offensive time, and even if Joe shoots a 3-pointer, he will not be able to break his own record. People are selfish. Kobe Bryant is the same, no matter what game he wins, the record he is proud of must not be broken, and he is still breaking it in front of himself.
Joe is not stupid either, knowing that the Lakers are going to drag their time. Joe kept the "Platinum Star" until this time. Joe opens the "Platinum Star" and adds the "Defensive Iron Gate" attribute. Joe made a direct charge and cut Kobe's ball off.
Kobe Bryant was afraid that the ball would be broken before he dribbled the ball, who knew that he would be broken in the end.
Joe raced to the Lakers halfcourt, and Bryant followed, and at this time Bryant was only thinking about stopping Joe from scoring.
Joe took a step outside the 3-point line and shot directly, and Kobe Bryant desperately caught up, in order to stop the hit, he slapped Joe's hand hard from the side, trying to stop Joe's 3-point with a foul, but Joe still made a resolute shot.
"Brush!!" Even though Kobe Bryant tried so hard, the ball still went in, and it was 3+1. Free throws, if Joe says goodbye, he will tie Kobe's 81 points!!
Everyone held their breath as they watched the fateful punishment.
"When!!"
The ball actually bounced out!! Joe maintained such a high free throw percentage and actually missed the most important free throw!!
Everyone regretted that there would not be a second chance for such a good opportunity.
Even the Lakers' players breathed a sigh of relief. But they were completely unaware of the trajectory of the ball, which was headed for Joe!!
Joe had long anticipated the current situation, and the ball was deliberately thrown by him. Because Joe suddenly remembered an advertisement that Yi Jianlian had filmed. That's Yi Jianlian, who deliberately threw it and then made up for it himself. Unexpectedly, Yi Jianlian helped Qiao at the critical moment.
Joe jumped straight up as soon as the ball went out!!
Barkley was about to flip the table when he saw the ball missed, "Damn!! Joe's penalty is lost, but ...... Wait a minute!! Joe jumped!! He got the rebound!! OMG!! He scored a dunk!! 82 points!! He scored 82 points!! He broke the record!! Goodbye 81 minutes!! ”
