Chapter 211: Breaking the Record

Back to the locker room. Teammates congratulated Li Mojie.

Most of the players are older than him, only this year's rookie Jokic is younger than him, a year younger than him, and the other rookie Capela was born on the same day, the same month and year as him, and the Suns' scouts chose Capela because of this, he thinks that Li Mojie is so good, then Capela should not be far behind.

"Mo Jie, you are amazing, 71 points, even better than Jordan back then!" Markieff Morris smiled and patted Li Mojie's chest and said.

"I'm your fan now. Continue to play like this in the next game, and strive to score another 82 points to surpass Kobe Bryant and become the active leading scorer. Marcus Morris also said.

Eric Gordon, who was traded from the Pelicans this season, is also convinced, he has gotten along with the 12-time champion, and he feels that Li Mojie and Davis are not on the same level, Li Mojie is simply too strong, and only the top players in the Hall of Fame such as James and O'Neal in the second season of that year can be compared to him. He also praised: "I think you are better than LeBron James, your shooting is much more accurate than him." ”

Pierce also stepped forward and wiped his eyes, as if it was the first time he knew the current person, although this person had been training singles training with him for more than two months, but he seemed to have never seen this young man clearly, he said in surprise: "Are you really last year's rookie?" Oh, my God. ”

"Haha, Mo Jayer, now you're a new record for our Suns!" Nash also smiled, the stronger Li Mojie's combat power, the happier he is, after all, his time in the league is getting less and less, the stronger Li Mojie, the more likely he is to take the Suns farther, he wishes that Li Mojie is stronger than Wade, who won the FMVP in the third season!

Hornacek patted Li Mojie on the shoulder and smiled: "Keep up this form, we have a lot to do this season." ”

After taking a shower, Li Mojie went to the press conference with Hornacek, Nash, and Gordon.

The reporter first interviewed Hornacek and asked him to talk about the opening match.

"It was a great individual performance." Hornacek commented: "At the end of the second quarter, I felt like Marc Jaccos was going to go for 50 or even 60 points in this game, and in the fourth quarter I thought that Lee's performance was over, and the opponent took a lot of bags, but he still scored 71 points, which is really incredible. ”

Eric Gordon is equally unsparing in his praise. "Major Marc is a fantastic player, I was his opponent last season, I lost to him twice when I was with the Pelicans, and he has a pure look in his eyes, which is the eye that loves basketball, and there is a desire to score, a desire to win, which is a necessary quality for a great player."

Nash also praised: "I'm back with the Suns this season, I'm at this age, only championships are what I'm after, and the very important factor that attracted me back was Marc Jab, I saw countless great legends in him." ”

On the other side, Wei Shao was a little unconvinced: "This is just a regular season, it doesn't mean anything, we are still in the run-in stage, today's defense is not good, and it is more important to be able to score consistently than a certain convulsion." ”

Adams, on the other hand, generously praised him: "It's hard for me to believe he's a rookie from the same class as me, you can see that I've just taken the main position of the team, and he's already on the way to glory!" ”

Lindsey Smith, a female reporter with the Phoenix Suns, was the first to ask: "How do you feel about your 71 points today?" ”

Li Mojie looked at his own people, and the question he asked was easy to answer, he said: "There have been a lot of changes in our team this season, many media are not optimistic about us before the game, and even say that we are a team with little ghosts, I know the current state and strength of our team. Then this season I need to take on more scoring tasks, so I have to step up and it's as simple as that. ”

On the other side, Fox reporter Abby Hornacek asked, "We've seen your progress this offseason, are you going to play like this next?" ”

"Maybe, I'll step up when my teammates need me to score, but of course I need to thank my teammates for this game, without their help I wouldn't have been able to score such a high score," Li smiled. With the words Li Mojie, fans who like him can be excited for a long time.

After the game, major media in the United States reported on the game, using "crazy" to describe Li Mojie's performance, and his madness in this game has surpassed that of Jeremy Lin in the original 7 games. So Li Mojie has a new nickname: "Li Crazy!" ”

For example, ESPN has opened a special program to explain the impact of this game.

After the game, ESPN Sports on October 28, 2014, in the Suns' 112-104 victory over the Thunder, the Suns' second-year core Li Mojie shot 27 of 50 and 13 of 14 free throws, scoring 71 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. He is the sixth man in NBA history to score 70 points and the youngest to score 71 points, surpassing Michael Jordan's career scoring record (69 points) and becoming the second active player behind the Lakers' Kobe Bryant (82 points).

When Li Mojie scored the 60th point, he became the youngest player in NBA history to score 60+ points in a single game. The past record holder is the "God of Basketball" Jordan, who made this history in the playoffs. At the age of 23 years and 62 days, he scored 63 points against the Celtics.

If only the regular season is counted, then the record holder is David "Skywalker" Thompson, who was 23 years and 270 days old when he scored 73 points against the Pistons.

Immediately afterwards, Li Mojie scored the 61st point and became the new single-game scoring record in the Suns' team history. The previous record belonged to Tom Champles, with a score of 60. Today, Li Mojie pushed the record to 71 points at once!

When he scored two more points to reach his 63rd point, Lee became the second-highest scorer in a single game among all active NBA players. In front of him is naturally Kobe Bryant, who scored 81 points in a single game, and behind him is "Melon" Carmelo Anthony, who scored 62 points in a single game. Considering that Kobe Bryant is 36 years old this year, and he has been affected by injuries for two consecutive years and has been reimbursed for the season, maybe in a few years, the active scoring record will be held by Li Mojie!

When reporters interviewed Kobe Bryant after the game, Kobe Bryant said generously: "If my 81-point record will be broken by anyone in the future, among the active players, I think Li Mojie is the most likely one!" ”

When Li Mojie scored 68 points, he became the highest single-game scoring player in NBA history from rookie to sophomore. The past record belongs to Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 67 points in a sophomore game against the Knicks, but he was almost 25 years old at the time.

It is worth mentioning that 71 points has set a new career high for Li Mojie, and Li Mojie's previous single-game scoring record was 51 points against the Mavericks; At the same time, Li Mojie also broke the Toggins Dick Resort Arena scoring record, the Suns all-time scoring record, and is also the youngest Mr. 70 points in NBA history. After this battle, the 20-year-old Li Mojie became the sixth 70+ player in history in a single game!

Lee also broke LeBron James' record of 56 points to become the most scorer at the age of 20, and he also became the youngest player to score 60 points. Today is the 11th time in the league that he has scored more than 70 points, and Li Mojie became the sixth player to score more than 70 points, the first five being Wilt Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant, David Thompson, David Robinson and Elgin Baylor.

His fame has become even louder, not only fans who like to watch the NBA, but even many fans who don't usually watch basketball have begun to know that there is such a powerful Chinese player in the basketball world!
