Chapter 308: 81 points in a single game!
Even if you get the opposing coach, it is not foolproof to break the record, the most feared thing is that the difference between the two sides is too large, resulting in the loss of suspense in the game, and no matter how good Sun Zhuo is at that time, he can continue to score, and he has to rest.
Thankfully, Mobley and Brand still wanted to win and caught up in the second half, and Sun Zhuo was very grateful to them, although even if they didn't, Sun Zhuo would find a way to stimulate them to do so.
By the fourth quarter, Sun Zhuo had scored more than 70 points, and everyone realized that Sun Zhuo not only wanted to break his career scoring record, but also wanted to pursue the highest scoring record in history.
"Sun won't score 100 points in this game, right? Will he break Chamberlain's record of 100 points? ”
"100 points is definitely impossible, Chamberlain's basketball and modern basketball are completely two kinds of games, unless three overtime games are played, Sun is possible, let alone score close to 100, even if all the data is combined, no one can get close to 100 points. Shaquille O'Neal had 61 points and 23 rebounds in a single game, adding up to 84. ”
Chamberlain's 100 points in a single game has always been an unattainable height and myth in everyone's hearts, but even if Sun Zhuo can't break 100 points today, it is remarkable to get the second highest score in history!
In the Clippers players' seat, even if Howard smashed the ball in Sun Zhuo's face again, Coach Dunleavy couldn't laugh, but fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and he did not feel too aggrieved because Sun Zhuo got some practical benefits.
The assistant coach saw that Deng Leavy did not target Sun Zhuo tactically at all today, which made it very easy for Sun Zhuo to score, especially to let Sun Zhuo get a lot of opportunities to shoot in the bottom corner of the three points, and when Sun Zhuo was about to break the record, he was still indifferent, so he stepped forward and asked: "Do you want to wrap Sun as soon as you catch the ball?" Or, not giving him a chance to catch the ball at all? ”
At this point in the game, it doesn't matter whether the team wins or loses, and if the Clippers don't want to see Sun Zhuo break the record on them, they can do these "not very gentlemanly" behaviors.
Coach Dunleavy shook his head and said, "We don't have to do anything deliberately, those guys on the court watched Sun perform the whole game, and if they feel bad, they will do something." ”
According to the agreement, Dunleavy could not restrict Sun Zhuo from receiving and dribbling, but even so, it became difficult for Sun Zhuo to score at this time.
On the one hand, it is a problem of physical consumption, on the other hand, even if there is no explanation, as long as Sun Zhuo initiates an offense, the Clippers players will unconsciously all flock to Sun Zhuo, Sun Zhuo's ability to go to the basket is not very strong now, even if he has a fast speed, he does not dare to go to the basket at all.
Fortunately, Sun Zhuo's long-range shooting ability has been upgraded to A+.
As a result, Sun Zhuo began to choose to shoot on the outside non-stop.
He continues to shoot once he misses, he knows his long-range shooting strength and knows that he will not miss all the time.
Swish!
With Sun Zhuo's three-point shot at the top of the arc, Sun Zhuo's personal score came to 73 points!
“GO! GO! GO! and Skywalker David Thompson's single-game score is the same, continue to rush! There's a 78-point record waiting for you ahead! ”
"Come on, Sun! Although you can't surpass Chamberlain's 100 points, you have a chance to surpass his 78 points! ”
The whole court was excited, Magic fans have never seen such a great game, Magic has produced many stars in the past, but no one is as crazy as Sun Zhuo today.
At this moment, Mobley and Brand of the Clippers also regretted catching up with the score in the third quarter.
"You just go up and punch Sun and knock him off." Mobley said to Brand.
Brand was also unhappy: "Why don't you go?" ”
The Clippers players were complaining to each other, but they didn't have the courage to do anything too out of line with Sun Zhuo, so they had to watch Sun Zhuo shoot another three-pointer.
76 points!
“80! 80! ”
“MVP! MVP! ”
The shouting continued, everyone saw that Sun Zhuo was playing so vigorously today, and they all shouted in unison in the hope that he could continue to hit 80 points.
In fact, there is not much time left in the game now, the Magic is already 15 points ahead, and the Clippers don't want to chase this momentum, if it is the usual game, Sun Zhuo can be replaced, but now, at this juncture, if the Magic coach replaces Sun Zhuo, he will be booed to death by the home fans.
Sun Zhuo was so tired that he couldn't do it, but he hadn't reached his goal yet, and he wasn't willing to give up.
"At least 81 points, I'm not only three points from the corner, but I'm also good at the top of the arc and at a 45-degree angle, so I can continue to shoot threes."
Sun Zhuo is now trying to play as slow as possible on every offense, and he really can't play fast, but this time, even if he wants to find opportunities outside the three-point line, it is difficult to find opportunities, and at the three-point line, the Clippers have two people waiting for Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo believes that this is not a decision arranged by Coach Dunleavy, but a decision negotiated by the Clippers players themselves.
Sun Zhuo was not afraid, did not pass, was two steps away from the three-point line, and shot three points directly!
Super far three points!
Swish!
Again!
79 points!
"Oh my God, you can shoot so far from the three-point line! Haha, Sun's luck is really good, don't guard against the clippers, it's useless! ”
"I think this ball was thrown indiscriminately, and the record was broken so casually, I really haven't seen it."
In fact, this is not a random shot, Sun Zhuo has been practicing ultra-long three-point shooting for the past three years, and he definitely has this ability foundation.
Everything has become no suspense, Sun Zhuo's last attack, Magic directly fouled, Sun Zhuo went to the free throw line.
“MVP! MVP! ”
The audience chanted MVP, and the Magic home court had never had such a shocking and neat MVP call, Shaquille O'Neal never got it, Hardaway never got it, and Maddie never got it.
Sun Zhuo hit both free throws and scored 81 points, just like Kobe Bryant who played against the Raptors in his previous life, and finally set the second-highest scoring record in history with 81 points.
After the game, major news media rushed to report that 81 points in a single game, although it is not the highest single-game scoring record in history, but considering that the game in the Chamberlain period is very different from the modern game, 81 points in a single game can already be regarded as a myth of modern basketball.
At the same time, after the victory over the Clippers, the Magic's record rose to the first place in the East, and Sun Zhuo held the first place in the MVP rankings.
After this game, the league interviewed a lot of people, starting with Sun Zhuo and the members of the victim Clippers.
Reporter: "Sun, why are you so motivated in this game?" What motivates you to keep scoring? ”
Sun Zhuo: "Coach Dunleavy was definitely from Coach Dunleavy, at the beginning we made some mistakes, but we were ridiculed by the opponents, which motivated me to get better, and then I started scoring non-stop, I didn't try to score more than 80 points, it just happened. ”
Reporter: "You've done this crazy move many times this season, would 81 points be your highest score this season?" Do you think anyone else in the league will break your record after you score 81 points? ”
Sun Zhuo: "Yes, this should be my highest score this season, and as for the others, I think Kobe Bryant should challenge me, and I'm looking forward to it." ”
After this incident, the league launched interviews with the stars of many teams to ask them what they think of Sun Zhuo's 81 points in a single game, especially Kobe Bryant's opinion on Sun Zhuo's 81 points, and everyone thinks that if anyone in the league can surpass Sun Zhuo's 81 points, it can only be Kobe.
When the reporter went to the Lakers locker room to interview Kobe, Kobe Bryant had just finished a game, the Lakers won a big victory, and he was in a good mood, but when he heard that Sun Zhuo scored 81 points, he immediately became incredulous: "What? You said Sun scored 81 points in a single game? I don't believe it. ”
After determining the truth of the incident, Bryant said, "I'll take 100 points. ”
Although Kobe Bryant's words are exaggerated and joking, everyone knows that Kobe Bryant will definitely want to break the record of 81 points.
The last time Sun Zhuo and Kobe Bryant scored in the third quarter, Sun Zhuo was directly broken in the next game when Kobe Bryant broke the record, Kobe didn't want to wait, the next game Lakers vs. Timberwolves, Kobe Bryant wanted to break the record in this game, but the Timberwolves players, especially Kevin Garnett, would never allow Kobe to act so recklessly, and shattered Kobe's record-breaking dream in two quarters.
Kobe Bryant still didn't give up, and in the next game against the Hornets, Kobe Bryant was still crazy for a quarter, but in the second quarter, his hand suddenly cooled, and his scoring efficiency dropped quickly, and he couldn't hit 81 points in the end.
And in these two games, because Kobe Bryant wanted to break the record's crazy shot, but he didn't score much, and other teammates were also in a state of sparring, and they didn't play well on the court, the Lakers lost two games in a row, Kobe Bryant also received some blame, and the media accused him that he shouldn't completely ignore the team's record for the sake of breaking the record.
After that, Kobe Bryant also reined in, no longer thinking about breaking Sun Zhuo's 81 points, he now hears someone say that 81 will lose his temper, how did he not expect that in the previous life, 81 points was an honor for Kobe, but in this life, it is a nightmare.
However, Sun Zhuo believes in Kobe's ability, and when he plays against the Raptors, Kobe Bryant will definitely attack 81 points, so on this day, Sun Zhuo waited in front of the TV early, and also notified Wade and O'Neal in advance, telling them that Kobe Bryant might break his own record today.
On January 22, 06, the Lakers beat the Raptors, this day is the birthday of his deceased grandfather, for Kobe, it means a lot, Kobe Bryant's respect for his grandfather, even more than his father, because when Kobe Bryant was a child, his grandfather was the initiator of his dreams, and it was his grandfather who sent Kobe Bryant in Italy the big bird Bird and Magic Johnson videotapes.
On this day, Kobe's grandmother also came, and Kobe Bryant would play more exciting because he didn't want his grandmother to leave the game early.
In addition, the opponent is Jalen Rose again, in the second game of the 2000 Finals, when Kobe Bryant jumped, Jalen Rose made a move to Kobe Bryant that could almost destroy his career--- stepping foot, and Kobe missed the third game of the Finals.
It is precisely for these reasons that Kobe Bryant broke out on this day, scoring 81 points in his previous life, and Sun Zhuo feels that in this life, because of his stimulation, I am afraid he will have to score at least 83 points.
The game started quickly, and Kobe Bryant's performance in the first two quarters was indeed excellent, but in the third quarter, Kobe Bryant did not have the momentum to continue to go crazy, and he actually started to pass the ball, and he already had 4 assists, which made Sun Zhuo very surprised, when Kobe Bryant scored 81 points in his previous life, he only had two assists in the whole game, how could he ...... today?
"Kobe Bryant didn't want to break my 81-point record today, he wanted to win more!"
Looking at it, Sun Zhuo saw Kobe's inner thoughts, and thought that something big would happen today, but he didn't expect Kobe to choose to give up.
Maybe it was because of the failure of Kobe Bryant in the first two games and the blame from the media, so Kobe Bryant now cares more about the team's wins and losses than about personal data.
The point is that Bryant didn't know that he could score 81 points today, and if he did, he would have made an unreserved impact.
In the end, the game was over, and Bryant only scored 50+ points.
Miami Heat's O'Neal and Wade also watched the game, and after the game, O'Neal called and said: "Sun, you think too much, no one can break your 81-point record, no one, Kobe Bryant, sit on your throne with peace of mind." ”
Sun Zhuo was looking forward to Kobe Bryant breaking the record today, but he was a little disappointed afterwards, if Kobe Bryant didn't hit 81 points today, as the playoffs approached, this season, Kobe Bryant may not have a chance to break this record again.
There is still a discrepancy between reality and my own assumptions.
Soon, the January game was over and the February schedule was ushered in, and at this time, the voting results of the All-Star Game had been released.
West: Yao Ming, Kobe, Duncan, Maddy, Nash, Brand, Gasol, Garnett, Nowitzki, Marion, Ray Allen, Tony Parker.
East: Son Zhuo, O'Neal, O'Neal Jr., James, Wade, Iverson, Ben Wallace, Bosh, Pierce, Carter, Arenas, Billups, Hamilton.
The head coach in the West is Popovich, and the East is Pat Riley, all of whom are master-level coaches.
During this time, the Magic's record began to fluctuate, the first place in the East did not occupy for long, and soon fell to third, due to the approach to the All-Star Game, everyone became a little relaxed, and even Sun Zhuo began to have distracting thoughts, and couldn't help but think about the meeting with Carey in Houston.
Since the last time he separated from Kerry, Sun Zhuo has been looking forward to this meeting in Houston, after pretending to be a couple with Kerry in Los Angeles for one night, Sun Zhuo found that he seemed to like this girl, this feeling is not certain, these days, whenever he falls asleep at night, he always thinks of Kerry's sweet smile in his mind.
Sun Zhuo packed his luggage and came to Houston on February 17th, from the moment he stepped into Houston, Sun Zhuo was extremely excited, but Carrey called at this time: "I'm sorry, Sun, my grandfather is seriously ill, I have to go back to the UK, All-Star Weekend, I can't accompany you." ”
"It's okay, we can make another appointment next time." Sun Zhuo responded to Kerry in the usual polite manner, as he did with most friends.
But when he hung up the phone, when the loss in his heart wrapped and engulfed his whole heart, when Sun Zhuo wanted to buy a ticket to find her in the UK immediately, Sun Zhuo finally determined that he liked her.
