Chapter 162: It Looks Good
After the game, the Lakers' locker room was boiling, and his teammates surrounded Zhang Tuan in the middle and asked him to take a piece of paper with the word "70" written on it and take a group photo with everyone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This scene is reminiscent of the classic moment when Chamberlain was asked by the photographer to take a picture with a piece of paper with the word "100" written on it when Chamberlain scored 100 points.
Zhang's 70 points are still a lot worse than Chamberlain's 100 points, but this is the record of his rookie season, and Chamberlain only completed the highest record of 58 points at the same time and place, so this is a real historical moment, and many Lakers players are extremely excited and have posted a group photo at the post-game press conference.
The magician yelled at the media: "This is a historic moment!! It belongs to Lyon, and it belongs to the Lakers and all the LA fans!! ”
"Sky Hook" Jabbar also found Zhang Yu for a group photo after the game, and then posted a selfie of a koala baby holding a 70-point selfie to the media, and said with a smile: "Leon is crazy tonight, this is 70 points!" He deserves hot kisses from 70 girls. ”
General manager Jerry West said: "It's a night we'll talk about many times, and Lyon adds another big twist to the Lakers' history. ”
"The Voice of the Lakers" Zike Hearn sighed: "A few months ago, Michael gave his boots to Lyon and wrote 'become a legend' on the shoes, maybe he didn't expect that just a few months later, 18-year-old Lyon scored 70 points, and Jordan is witnessing his greatness." ”
But when it comes to pretending to be forced to brag, Zhang Zhu naturally said, "Who else can I be".
He was holding not only the piece of paper with the word "70" written on it, but also a piece of paper with the word "11" written on it at the post-race press conference.
Tonight, many people only noticed that he scored 70 points, but ignored that he also broke the single-game three-point shooting record, and after the game, he was ashamed to say to the media: "I am an army alone!" ”
- "It's not going to be an easy pattern, is it?"
The Los Angeles Times has decided that tomorrow's headline will be a quote from Zhang's post-game press conference.
- "This is too IMBA! ”
The New York Times chose another sentence, I really don't know how many snasty things Zhang Mao said that night.
Many reporters don't know what "IMBA" means, but after getting Zhang Mao's explanation, they learned that it turned out to be the abbreviation of imbalance·in·balance, which means imbalance in balance.
Everyone suddenly realized that Zhang Yu compared himself like this, a bit of other players are a level, and he himself is a level.
To explain it simply, it means that his dick exploded!
But this night, he was really too IMBA!
Not only did he make himself the youngest 60-point and 70-point player in NBA history, but his 70 points were also the highest single-game points in this season, the 10th most single-game score in NBA history, and only four players had scored 70+ points before him, namely Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, David Thompson and David Robinson, and now he became the fifth NBA player to score 70 points.
In the NBA, no matter who can score 70 points in a single game, of course, it is a miracle.
After all, Jordan, Wilkins, Drexler, Reggie Miller, Malone, Barkley, Olajuwon, Ewing, Chambers, ...... Counting the big vote scorers, no one has ever scored 70 points, and even 60 points is extremely rare.
Does anyone still remember Olajuwon's career-high score? - In fact, it is only 52 points, which is a big dream of two consecutive championships!
and Barkley, this big ass is still an unstoppable monster even this season, but his career high score is only 47 points, which is the strongest big ass in history!
"Flyer" Jordan, the highest single-game scoring record in his career, is only 69 points, which is 1 point less than 70 points, that is to say, he was trampled under Zhang Mao's magical performance this night.
The next day, NBA players were also shocked by Zhang Fu's 70 points in a single game, and they all expressed disbelief!?
Denver Nuggets star Mutombo said: "Wait a minute, 70 points? Uncle Mu immediately made a surprised expression, and then shhed, "I have to use a bigger tree to record this number." ”
Phoenix Suns star Charles Barkley said: "That kid named Lyon just scored 70 points, and my career high was only 47 points, so I really want to applaud him, but I mean the moment he killed Shaquille, it was really cool!" ”
Mavericks guard point guard Jason Kidd said: "It's crazy to score 70 points against the Magic!! It's a legendary moment, and I'm going to get a video of this game as a collection. ”
Indiana Pacers' sharpshooter Reggie Miller said in a pregame commentary interview: "70 points, it's incredible, I'm officially a fan of him, but I'm more interested in his shooting percentage, 23-of-39 from the field, 11-of-18 from three-point range, he broke the single-game three-point record, he did something that even I didn't do." ”
Zhang Zhu is indeed in great shape in this game, not only 70+, he shot 23 of 39 in 45 minutes, 11 of 18 three-pointers, 13 of 16 free throws, slashed 70 points, plus 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, even if he is 19 years old, with such a supernatural performance at such an age, Zhang Zhu's future is not just infinitely bright.
The NBA also awarded last week's "Player of the Week" to Zhang Yu the next day, which is the third time he has won the "Player of the Week" award this season, which allows him to catch up with Jordan again, and only these two people in the league have won the best of the week three times.
Zhang Zhu has been satisfied with this, and the current "Player of the Week" is not divided into the East and the West, but the entire league.
So, the current 3 Weekly Championships are more valuable than the 6 Weekly Championships in the 21st century, because you have to be the best player in the league to win the award, which is more than twice as difficult.
The Lakers are looking to beat the Seattle SuperSonics on the road on the 19th with a big win.
This abacus is very good, but unfortunately the reality is very cruel.
"It was an incredible game, but we're not the Magic, so he doesn't want to score again."
Payton's pre-game words were a bit of a draw, but he still has some strength, and it is said that this year's Payton is qualified to compete with Jordan, Pippen, Mutombo and others for the best defensive player award, and he is also in the leading position among these men.
Mutombo was last year's best defensive player, but the Nuggets really can't support the wall, Uncle Mu is a little disheartened at the moment, so he is not as serious in the game as last year, although the defensive efficiency is still in the top three on the inside, but it is obviously not as good as last year.
Jordan and Pippen were not inferior to Payton in terms of defensive ability during the first three-in-a-row championship, but both of them are not young, and it is impossible to give their best every game, but Rodman's presence on the defensive end is higher than these two, but it is the three who have performed well, but no one has played a defense that has amazed the whole league.
In this regard, Payton's advantage is very big, the supersonic outside defense is led by him, in addition to being made very faceless by Zhang Zhu at the beginning of the season, Payton has always made his opponents lose face after putting his attitude right, such as Zhang Zhu's number one player fan - Jason Kidd was bullied by Payton.
Today, Zhang Qian was also very upset by Payton's help defense bag, which can see the defensive grade of Payton and Hardaway.
Zhang Zhu didn't even get a high score in this game, he didn't even have a chance to shoot.
Payton, on the other hand, played a top-level defense at home, not only often going to the box, but also making Van Exel unable to play normally, such a defense is indeed qualified to be the best defensive player.
The final score made both the Lakers and Zhang Qi very faceless - 79:94, the Lakers were limited to less than 80 points in scoring, but this seems to be the rhythm of the game that should be in this era.
Zhang Wei shot 5 of 13 from the field, and only got 16 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, which was completely limited by the supersonic defense.
Now he can't score 20 points, which basically means that he is not playing well.
Two days later, the Lakers returned to their home court, still against the SuperSonics.
Due to the experience of successfully blocking Zhang Qi in the last game and limiting the Lakers' score to less than 80 points, Payton became more arrogant this time, and said bluntly before the game: "We won't give him a chance to brush up points, 20 points is okay, you must know that the bottom line I usually leave for others is in single digits, and I have taken special care of him." ”
Zhang Zhu's side looked a little different from usual, I saw the usual domineering koala baby, but today it was a congested expression, as if the mentality had collapsed, and he said a little lonely before the game: "Sometimes... I wish someone would come and give me a big, long hug. ”
"Nani, what's wrong with baby koala?"
"Oh my God, Leon didn't fight back after being provoked, and actually ran to beg for a hug, what the hell am I?"
"Is this a broken love? How do you look like you forgive her? ”
"Something's wrong, is this still the koala baby who will be avenged?"
“…………”
The reporters on the scene have all found the problem, Zhang Fu's state today is obviously very different from usual, this is not like him personally, is it a stand-in?
Zhang Wei still had a look of "mourning more than death" on his face, but he had already laughed in his heart, because he found that Miss Mila actually came to watch the game with Miss Feihong on his back today, which is really hateful, hehe......
In fact, Miss Mira's face told him with a humble face that when she would not come to watch the game today, Zhang Qi knew that her lily card had taken effect.
In addition to being excited, the current Zhang Qi is also a little puzzled.
For example, he knew that Miss Mila should have been trained by him to be bisexual, but what kind of feelings did Miss Feihong have for him?
"It's complicated, but I'll just pretend to be forced."
Zhang Qi pretended to be NTR today, just to pave the way for catching the rape afterwards.
He is very dedicated, since he wants to act, he must act realistically, and the emotions must be rendered in place, otherwise it will be easy to laugh out loud when he catches the rapist, and it will be a mess.
"I must be grief-stricken and sad, and I must not have the slightest smug look."
Zhang Wei has been brewing emotions since last night, which made Miss Julie think she was going to get rid of her.
However, it is not his style to be so cowardly, so the koala baby still replied lazily: "I have a thousand words to describe the beauty of the sea, but I can't find a word to describe his boredom, you don't want to talk anymore, I don't bother to respond." ”
Peyton felt that he had the upper hand this time, but he must not know what pre-game arrogance was, and he was slapped in the face after the game!
The Lakers' home and road are completely different and should not be conflated.
At home, Van Exel, Campbell, Finley and others can play to their strengths, and once these role players step up, the Lakers' strength is not so simple.
After the opening, Payton performed very bravely, and after scoring a three-pointer on Van Exel, he helped the SuperSonics to launch a 9-3 attack wave in the opening game.
The two teams fought for every inch of land in the penalty area today, and the Magic steal Payton's pass after coming on the court, and relied on the outside level ball sense to return a 2+1 on Kemp.
Zhang Mao also made a foul on Camp soon after, and beat the "Rain Man", who was the biggest threat to the Lakers, in the opening game, which was the turning point of today's game......
The supersonic began to panic and were unable to score for three minutes.
finally relied on German Schramf's three-pointer to score a 3-pointer, but when he returned to the Lakers' offense, Finley immediately hit a three-pointer to return the color. In the first quarter, the Lakers relied on Kemp's big interior lock and a full-blown offense to complete the comeback 28-22 and extend the lead to six points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the offensive and defensive rhythm of the two sides began to accelerate, you came and went, the goals continued, and the scene became lively.
But after returning to the court from Kemp, the two teams began to play iron again, and apart from Zhang and Hawkins' piecemeal scoring, the others rarely made consecutive contributions.
This is the time to test the ability of the leaders of both sides, and Zhang Fu, a monster who can score 70 points, is the focus of supersonic attention. But they ignore that the Lakers also have a hidden superstar who can transform in a short period of time, which should not be underestimated.
This person is, of course, "Magic" Johnson, and any team that ignores him will not end up much better.
In the last minute of the first half, "Magic" first assisted Cebaros to score from the baseline, and then came to the outside to hit a rare three-pointer.
This kind of performance made George Karl look helpless off the court, and it seemed that he had returned to the fear of being dominated by the Lakers during the show·time period.
At halftime, the Lakers led the SuperSonics by eight points, 59:51.
Not only did Payton fail to limit Zhang Qian this time, but he himself was targeted by the Lakers, only playing a few minutes of good play in the opening stage, scoring only 8 points in the first half, but contributing 4 turnovers, shooting only 2-of-8 from the field and 0-of-3 from three-point range.
Zhang Zhu's side is hidden behind his teammates, and he has been scoring piecemeal.
After halftime, Zhang Mao actually got a game-high 17 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and it was another rhythm to get a triple-double.
The former star of the Lakers also stood up, and today the "Magic" played at least ten minutes of superstar level, not only taking on the task of organizing the core of the center for a long time, but also making a lot of contributions on the offensive end, handing over an efficient performance of 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half, which is no worse than his own back then.
In the second half of the game, Lakers fans were still holding a large number of pieces of paper with the word "70", and when they saw Zhang Qi playing, they immediately waved these numbers and cheered him warmly!
Zhang has been the target of media bombardment in the past few days, the world is reporting on his amazing performance, and Nike is even ready to launch a commemorative version of the "Dragon Descendant Generation" for him, which will also add the word "70" to commemorate this battle that shook the past and the present.
He thought someone would question his 70 points, such as making trouble with last-minute data scraps and the like.
Unfortunately, no one did.
The current Zhang Qi is the period when his popularity is at its highest, and no stupid hat will stand up and risk the world's disapproval.
At this time, finding fault with him can only be regarded as grandstanding, or for another purpose, just a big hat of "racial discrimination" is buttoned up, and these people can be smashed at any time.
What Hall of Fame superstar in NBA history has performed better in his rookie season than Zhang Mao?
Putting a team in the top three in the division in his first year with a large number of key players traded, who would dare to question his performance?
Even if they take out Chamberlain and Big O, their performance will be the same as Zhang Fu.
In the third quarter, the Lakers took the lead in attacking.
Zhang Qi dribbled the ball to the front court and performed a high block and pick-and-roll with Campbell, who covered and went down, received Zhang Zhu's ground-hitting pass and went straight to the layup.
Camp's explosiveness was amazing, and the Lakers were effective against other teams with this kind of pick-and-roll combination, but "Rainman" turned around and easily followed Campbell, using his explosive bounce to block the basketball.
"Magic" started the second half as a starter, got the rebound and wanted to make a strong layup again.
Kemp showed his amazing ability to block continuously, jumped up again after landing, and actually slapped the ball down.
"That's awesome!"
Zhang Qian also has to admire this defensive ability, no wonder the SuperSonics can win the terrifying Bulls twice, this kind of defense is enough to be called dominant, those teams who like to play inside meet the camp who is in good form, I really don't know how to play, which is why they must get camp down today.
Zhang Yu also rushed to the basket at this time, and when he saw the basketball flying in his direction, he immediately jumped up and grabbed the basketball, and was about to throw.
Kemp was obviously on top, complaining in his heart about his teammate CBA, and then pounced again to deliver three kills.
Zhang Yu showed a malicious gaze, he could shoot quickly after grabbing the rebound, but he deliberately made a shooting move at Kemp slowly, easily shaking the opponent up.
"It's over!"
SuperSonics know it's bad, and Kemp does dominate on the defensive end, but his problem of fouls too many can't seem to be solved.
"Toot!"
The referee blew the whistle for a foul, and there was no room for quillery with the goal.
It was only the first minute of the third quarter, but Kemp had already committed four fouls, and the Lakers players didn't see him in the quarter.
Now, everyone knows that when fighting away from home and losing the supersonic speed of the inner core, it should be more than lucky.
George Karl hurriedly called a timeout, and he could feel that the rhythm was not quite right, and the supersonic interior had gone from being an advantage to a disadvantage.
But it's useless to know this kind of thing, no one in the supersonic can replace the role of camp, and the third quarter only played less than three minutes, and the defensive formation of the supersonic team was rushed by Zhang Fu's savage breakthrough.
Zhang Zhu sent two wonderful assists in a row, but as long as the supersonic speed is not trapped, his impact can directly cause damage, and the koala baby is close to invincible at this time, and it is basically impossible to defend.
At 6:02 in the third quarter, Zhang Qi seized the opportunity for the SuperSonics to shrink the defense, and hit the second three-pointer of the game from 23 feet out, and his personal score also came to the 26th point, and the number of assists had already become 9.
Zhang Zhu was still not obsessed with scoring after scoring three points, and in the next round he deceived German Schramf into losing his center of gravity, but then he chose to play the ball and gave the basketball to Campbell, who was in the open position under the basket, who also played a 2+1 on Perkins, who was on the defensive side.
The score was 76:60, and after Campbell hit a free throw, the Lakers' lead had reached 16 points.
In the face of the more morale-boosting Lakers, the SuperSonics couldn't find a feeling on the offensive end, and it was only after several consecutive hits that Perkins broke the scoring drought, but Van Exel fired twice in a row on the outside, and the Lakers instantly extended their lead to 20+, and the powerful SuperSonics were beaten by the Lakers at home without temper.
The Lakers weren't ready to give their opponents another chance, and the game was headed for a rout after a rout in the late third quarter, with the SuperSonics, the first in the West, unable to play an effective counterattack.
After three quarters, the score was 89:67, and the Lakers led the SuperSonics by 22 points into the final quarter, and the suspense of the outcome had long been lost.
Zhang Qi scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists in the third quarter, and he scored 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists in this quarter, single-handedly breaking the entire defense of Payton and the SuperSonics.
In the fourth quarter, Zhang Mao rested for five minutes off the court, and the two teams played the court, which also gave him a chance to go up and pick up another rebound.
At 5:56 of the final quarter, when Bison and Fred protected him from left to right, Zhang got his tenth rebound between two teammates, and his 11th triple-double of the season was in hand.
"Awesome, now my three doubles are stable."
This "triple-double king" has always been Zhang Zhu's goal, his only opponent is Pistons' Grant Hill, but that goods have just gotten his 8th triple-double, Zhang Zhu was originally a little worried, but now that his 11th triple-double is in hand, there is no need to worry about that guy threatening himself.
The supersonic relied on Kemp, who was back on the court, in the fourth quarter, struggling to support, but they could only barely maintain the difference of about 20 points, and as the time passed by minute by minute, the suspense of this game was infinitely close to zero.
Zhang was quickly replaced by Harris after getting a triple-double.
The Lakers obviously feel that the game has long been over, and Zhang Qian can now think about it, should he complain about Payton after the game?
This thing jumped so much before the game, can the koala baby bear it?
When the final whistle sounded, Lakers fans began to chant "MVP" and "MVP" in a neat voice!!
They really think that Zhang Mao's current personal data and the Lakers' better and better record can help him fight for the regular season MVP.
In such a strong dialogue between the first in the West and the third in the West, Zhang contributed 34 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, got the 11th triple-double of the season, and led the team to victory.
Maybe, he really deserves to win MVP??
