The head coach of the Nets thought that Wang Xiao would help Thompson brush up the data, but he didn't expect Wang Xiao to be so shameless, and he actually used special cover tactics such as double blocking and dismantling to help the team score points when the team had an absolute lead.

It's like when there are dozens of seconds left in the game and the difference between the two sides is already more than 20 points, and the leading side is still persevering to brush up the score.

Although there is no foul in this behavior, it is still more or less not very face-giving to the opponent, there are a total of 30 teams in the entire league, and everyone looks up all day long and doesn't look down, so they can't commit it at all.

Having said that, that's what Wang Xiao did!

Under the cover of the double-block pick-and-roll, a large gap appeared in front of Thompson, and he did not hesitate to immediately pull out his hand outside the three-point line and shoot steadily!

30 points! 30 points in a single quarter!

Thompson broke the playoff single-quarter scoring record, setting a new record with 30 points in a single quarter and becoming a new record-breaker!

Before the game, no one would have thought that the silent Thompson would actually steal the limelight of Jeremy Lin, Durant, Brother Alphabet and others, and become the focus of the most attention in the audience!

Relying on Thompson's supernatural play, the Bucks established a huge advantage in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the team further consolidated the lead and slowly widened the margin even further.

Thompson's hand was a little cooler in this quarter, and he only hit 2 of 5 shots in the whole quarter to score 4 points, even so, Thompson's score still reached 34 points at halftime, the most in the game.

In the second quarter, Durant, who took over the scoring baton, scored 14 points in a single quarter, plus 8 points from Brother Alphabet, the score of the two teams was 70:48 after halftime, and the Bucks led by 22 points.

The game seemed to have lost its suspense, but in the third quarter, the Nets, led by Jeremy Lin, fought to catch up, taking advantage of the fact that the Bucks were slightly slackened due to the huge lead, and at one point narrowed the score to about 10 points.

At this time, Durant stepped up again.

The Grim Reaper is the one who harvests his life at the last moment, and Durant is no different.

When he had the ball, everyone in the Nets knew that Durant would choose to attack, but even if they knew, they still couldn't stop Durant from scoring.

Shoot with your back to the center and score on a jumper basket.

Like a scoring machine, Durant steadily and efficiently harvests the score and the lives of the Nets.

The margin quickly returned to more than 20 points, and by this time, the Nets were already halfway through the fourth quarter, and the Nets were gone.

With the Nets replacing all their main players, the first matchup of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Bucks and the Nets ended like this.

At 121:97, the Bucks won the Nets at home by 24 points, and Thompson alone scored 47 points, including 30 points in the first quarter, four points in the second quarter, eight points in the third quarter, and five points in the fourth quarter.

In addition to Thompson's 47 points, the Bucks had three players in double figures: Durant's 27 points, Antetokounmpo's 17 points, and Jokic's 16 points.

In contrast, the highest scorer on the Nets' side is actually Jeremy Lin as a point guard.

Due to the almost whole game with Brother Alphabet, Jeremy Lin's performance was not very good, although he scored 24 points, but the shooting rate was only more than 4 percent, and he was also covered by Brother Alphabet in the course of the game.

Of course, Brother Alphabet didn't get anything to ask for, and he had a physical advantage, but he still suffered a slight loss in terms of experience, and was fouled on several occasions when he attacked Jeremy Lin, scoring only 17 points in the game.

The first meeting between the two can only be said to have won and lost each other, with Jeremy Lin having the upper hand in scoring and assists, while Antetokounmpo has the advantage in efficiency and rebounding.

……

After the game, all eyes were on Thompson.

After all, no one expected that Thompson would be the key to the victory or defeat of this game, although he is a very good player, but such a strong scoring explosion still almost everyone fell through the glasses.

Wang Xiao was very calm in an interview.

"Thompson's performance? Very good...... Well, that's good, isn't this his normal level? Thompson is one of the league's leading shooting guards, but his personality and style of play make him look like a team-oriented player, and anyone who underestimates him will come back at a heavy price. ”

Thompson also looked calm.

"I had a really good hand today and the manager and my teammates believed in me, so I kept shooting on the court and it was as simple as that......"

Wang Xiao is calm because he is well-informed, and he has long been surprised, Thompson's 30 points in a single quarter is nothing, he should have scored 37 points, although it was in the regular season with less defensive intensity.

And Thompson's calmness is because of his character.

Clay. Thompson has a very domineering nickname in China, called "Buddha".

It's not that Thompson is as powerful as "Buddha", but because Thompson's personality is too stable, his mood is invisible, and his appearance is quite rich, so he has this nickname because he is somewhat similar to Buddha.

Speaking of which, it is quite similar to Duncan's nickname of "Stone Buddha".

It's because of his calm personality that he won't be ecstatic just because he broke a playoff single-quarter scoring record, after all, that thing is nothing compared to the honor of an NBA championship.

Thompson's teammates, by contrast, are a little less calm.

Durant couldn't stop shaking his head during the interview.

"I think my nickname "Grim Reaper" can be given to Clay, 30 points in a single quarter! It's incredible! I've been in the NBA for so long and I haven't managed to score 30+ points in a single quarter, let alone in the playoffs where the defensive intensity has surged? He's definitely the most underrated super scorer! ”

Antetokounmpo said, "When Kobe Bryant scored 82 points, I was too young and I had only seen it on video, but Klay's 30 points in a single quarter I witnessed on the court, he is a strong scorer and a selfless player." ”

"After scoring 30 points in the first quarter of the game, he would have had a chance to hit the single-game scoring record in the playoffs, after all, the record was only 63 points, and it was not difficult to score 33 points in the next three quarters of the game with unlimited shots, but he took the initiative to give up, because after scoring so many points in the first quarter, the Nets had begun to defend him strictly, and in this case he chose to give up and force his shots to help us attract the attention of our opponents."

"I mean, Thompson has the ability to be the top scorer in the league, but he's willing to sacrifice his stats for the sake of the team, and that's something I really admire."

There are endless evaluations like this, all in all, in the first game, Thompson completed the screen with 30 points in a single quarter!
