Chapter 204: I'm so tired

On March 21, the Knicks, who have had a poor record recently, lost at home again, but Wu Huang's crazy performance attracted sighs from all sides, and all the media were looking through the historical materials in the pile of old papers after the game, looking for how legendary the data created by Wu Huang was.

But whatever the answer, what is certain is that no words of praise can describe Emperor Wu's performance that shocked the world today. The last time he did so on the court was the West Coast No. 24 core, when Bryant scored 61 points against the Knicks in February '09 when he conquered the basketball mecca. Wu Huang regained the dignity of Madison Garden through tonight's performance, and the support of New York fans for him has never been reserved since.

After the whistle blew, the host reminded all the spectators to save their tickets - "I bet that while fewer than 20,000 people will be lucky enough to witness this spectacular show in person, in the near future 200,000 people will claim, 'I watched a game at Madison Square Garden on the night of March 21, 2010, that is destined to go down in history.'" ”

Countless shots in the stadium recorded the footage of New York fans bowing to Emperor Wu after the game, they were worshipping the heroes of their team, the Big Apple City belongs to Emperor Wu tonight, if he dares to walk out into the street openly, his clothes will definitely be torn into hundreds of copies by crazy New York female fans, and it is very likely that a female hooligan will rob him.

Former Rockets star Maddy tweeted after the game that he was involved in this incredible game, "I sat here in the fourth quarter and watched the 'New York Emperor' show why he was the best rookie of the year. Previously, Maddie's career-high single-game score was 62 points. Wu Huang surpassed him by 1 point in this game.

David Lee also said after the game. I saw a desire for scoring and winning in Wu Huang's eyes. He described: "It was the eyes of a tiger, the eyes of a lion. ”

Charles Barkley tweeted that night: Hugo gives me the feeling that this kid wants to take 60+ easily. Yes, I knew it wouldn't be too late since I saw his amazing performance at the three-point contest, but he still got 60+ faster than I expected, and Kenny and I thought he would do it in his third or fourth season, but he was two or three years faster than we expected. What an amazing Asian kid.

Kidd became a negative example of Wu Huang after the game, "Ji Bu Offensive" played 36 minutes today, cut 9 points, 12 rebounds and 14 assists, and another embarrassing "Kidd-style" quasi-triple-double, the old monster retweeted a photo of Wu Huang on his Twitter after the game, and then attached a sentence at the end: You talk first, I still have something.

Not to mention how NBA stars marveled at Wu Huang's 63 points, after this battle, Wu Huang officially joined the 60+ club exclusive to superstars such as Jordan and Kobe, and he became the 21st player in NBA history to score 60+. He is also the only player in NBA history to score 60+ in his rookie season.

The youngest 60+ Mr. in the previous NBA was Jerry West, a legend of the Lakers, on January 17, 1962, when the Lakers vs the Knicks. Jerry West, who was only 23 years old and seven months old at the time, scored 63 points, and Wu Huang has now shrunk this record by three and a half years, which is definitely a show that has never been seen before or since.

Wu Huang himself said after the game: "I made history tonight and joined a small group of people. Only this small group of people knows what it's like, and I felt it tonight. Wu's 63 points were the highest single-game score of his career and the highest single-game score in the NBA this season.

Of course, he didn't forget to thank his teammates, "I just played round by round, my teammates were very positive with passing the ball to me, I have to thank them. With this score, Wu Huang became the 10th player since 1990 to score 60 points in a single game, following Carl Malone, Tom Chambers, Michael Jordan, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Maddie, Allen Iverson, Kobe Bryant and Arenas.

The New York Times reported the next day.

The Knicks lost 114-121 to the Rockets at home, but at Madison Garden, it was the Knicks star Hugo who hit 10 three-pointers to score the only 60+ points in the NBA regular season this season, and before that, Kobe Bryant (61 points) and Jordan (55 points) were the highest scorers in the arena, and now the first place belongs to Wu Huang.

No matter how bad the Knicks' record is in recent years, this stadium is still the basketball mecca that countless NBA stars and fans look forward to, because there is so much great history here, there are too many classic battles, because this is New York.

Whether it's Jordan, Kobe, or LeBron James, who has been obsessed with New York fans before, these superstars will be full of fighting spirit and energy as long as they step on the Madison Square Garden court.

The New York Times cites a few examples, on June 2, 1993, when the Chicago Bulls played Game 5 against the New York Knicks, the two sides had a 2-2 draw, when Jordan's gambling scandal was being hyped up by the media, and fans at Madison Square Garden began booing Jordan as he warmed up. But the result was a terrifying triple-double of 29 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds to help the Bulls win, especially from the end of the third quarter of the game, Jordan unstoppably scored 17 points in a row, and finally helped the Bulls beat the Knicks.

On December 17, 2006, the Knicks played the Nuggets, which was supposed to be an uneventful game, but it ended up being a "bloody case caused by a punch" and the most humiliating moment in the history of Madison Garden. At that time, in order to defend the little melon Anthony, the Knicks used some savage and rough ways to "take care" of Anthony and the Nuggets from the beginning, and the annoyed Anthony returned with a heavy punch, resulting in chaos on the court, and finally both sides were sent out a total of 10 people. It became a disgrace to the NBA and the Garden Court.

An even greater shame is yet to come. February 2, 2009. Madison Square Garden ushered in a shameful individual show, in the game between the Lakers and the Knicks, Kobe Bryant entered the invincible scoring mode, shooting 19 of 31 from the field, slashing a terrifying 61 points, surpassing Jordan's 55 points and Bernard King's 60 points, becoming the scoring champion of New York's basketball mecca.

Bryant's 61 points allowed him to surpass Bernard King and become the first individual scorer at Madison Garden at the time. Although the New York fans applauded Bryant in order to express their dissatisfaction with the management and players, the shame of the conquest of the arena has remained in the hearts of New York fans.

But from tonight onwards, New York fans don't need to dwell on last year's scene, Hugo is like Superman in a red cape, he untied the Knicks from the pillar of shame at a speed that no one expected, this hearty solo show is bound to push him to a new all-time high, this season's performances on the big stage are destined not to be alone, and the MVP battle will not only be a three-way confrontation between James, Wade and Kobe, this battle may kick off Hugo's entry into the real big stage.

Time. The mainstream media is touting Wu's performance, but there won't be just one voice in the world. After Emperor Wu went crazy this night, the outside world also had "sarcasm" about his 63 points.

Lakers fans commented on the official website for the first time: There are still 18 points left! Previously, Kobe Bryant had scored a career-high 81 points against the Raptors, and the official website of Lakers fans intended to satirize Wu Huang and Kobe Bryant.

Rick Barry, who has always discriminated against Chinese, tweeted: Wu Huang has 63 points! The Emperor of New York is powerful! However, the opponent is the Rockets, and he plays against the shortest backcourt combination in the league, so he can only count 49 points in reality.

Yahoo Sports' report is overt and depreciating.

Hugo's performance has been incredible, and experts have always thought that it will be difficult for Hugo to get 60+ because there are three conditions required to get a high score......

First, you need an opponent who can score points with you.

Second, you need four teammates who can't score.

Thirdly, it is based on his basketball style.

Hugo is probably one of the most talented shooters in league history, so his strongest offensive means is the three-point shot, so as long as he scores high, it means that his three-point accuracy in that game means that the score is quickly pulled away, and the game is likely to go into garbage time in the first half or the first three quarters, which will not give him enough time to score.

However, today's tenacious Rockets made Hugo, and everyone didn't expect the possibility of losing and scoring high points. You have to know that the player who gets 60+ usually wins that game with his team.

In order to belittle Wu Huang's 63 points, Yahoo Sports also deliberately went around in a big circle, they first reported: In this league, not every great player can score 60+, even if he is a scoring master, such as the great "Sky Hook" Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 55 points in a single game at most in his career.

Michael Jordan has scored a total of 4 60+ times in the regular season in his career, the highest of which is on March 28, 1990, Jordan scored 69 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 1 block against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, Jordan scored 61 points on March 4, 1987, 61 on April 16, 1987, and 64 on January 16, 1993.

"Peter Pan" Kobe, as Jordan's successor, in addition to scoring an incredible 81 points in his career, also had 4 60+ performances, and he got more 60+ times in the regular season than Jordan.

In addition, there are not many scorers who can compete with these two. Elgin Baylor scored 71 points in a single game against the Knicks on November 15, 1960, which was the NBA single-game scoring record at the time, but Baylor scored 60+ points in only 3 games.

Today, the league's No. 1 superstar LeBron James has not had a 60+ career at present, and on the contrary, David Thompson maliciously scored 73 points in a single game on April 9, 1978, but the second highest score in his career was only 50 points. The same goes for David Robinson, who scored 71 points in a single game on April 24, 1994 (in an attempt to compete with O'Neal for the scoring title), but his second-highest score was 52.

Such a report can be described as well-intentioned, and it is clear that it is a disguised point pointing out that Wu Huang's 63 points are nothing. Either you can farm 60+ multiple times. Just like Jordan and Kobe. That's what you can do. But also know that a lot of great players don't bother to score points at all, but they can be even greater than those who get seventy or eighty points.

So Yahoo Sports' conclusion is that Wu Huang is simply the same big brush as David Thompson, but the bad guy won the game, and Wu Huang didn't have many brushes here, and he lost the game, I really don't know what to brag about?

ESPN's report is fairer — every time an NBA player scores more than 60 points. The first thing that comes to mind is Chamberlain's 100 points and Bryant's 81 points. If you think about it, scoring machines, including Wade, James, and Anthony, have never had a 60+ performance.

Looking back on the history of the NBA, because the original rules were not perfect and the level was uneven, there were not a few players who scored more than 50 points, so Chamberlain's 100 points were actually not surprising, and Kobe's 81 points were far stronger than Chamberlain's 100 points.

In modern basketball, 60 points has become a watershed for NBA superstars, but 60 points are not a reflection of the absolute strength of the stars. Players like Duncan and James, they don't even have 60+ points. But they will also be among the top 10 players in NBA history.

Since the NBA entered its real maturity in 1984, there have only been 16 times when individuals have scored more than 60 points in a single game (not counting Wu Huang this time), of which Kobe Bryant has 5 times, Jordan has 4 times, Iverson, Maddie, O'Neal, Arenas, David Robinson, Tom Chambers, Carl Malone and Anthony have 1 time each. Among them, Robinson, O'Neal, Malone and Chambers, the four interior players, achieved 60+ data in the era of the prevalence of center forwards, and the remaining six are all forward players. It can be seen that for modern basketball, even if some players can easily score forty or fifty points, it has become more and more difficult to exceed 60 points.

Of Hugo's 63 points in yesterday's game, 30 came from three-pointers. Obviously, the three-point shot is crucial for players who want to join the "60+ club". Because it will not only boost the morale of the team during the match, but also increase your own scoring speed. Kobe Bryant has scored more than 60 points five times, and it is precisely because of his excellent three-point shooting ability, including Maddy, Arenas and Iverson who are also good three-point shooters.

Of course, in addition to three-point shooting, the number of shots is also crucial, which means that a player who scores 60+ will definitely not be a role player, because the team will not give him so many shots at all. Just look at Hugo's 43 shots, how could the average player get so many shots?

However, even if you are given enough shots, it is not easy to exceed 60 points, because to cross the 60-point mark, you basically need to make more than 30 shots. When Kobe Bryant scored 81 points, he threw 46 balls, and Hugo also threw 43 balls yesterday.

In addition, with the departure of traditional centers such as Yao Ming and O'Neal, the current NBA can be said to have "no" centers, plus the development of the NBA in recent years is more inclined to the small-ball style, and the backcourt players have gradually become the mainstay of each team, so it will be more difficult for interior players to achieve 60+ data in the NBA arena today. Even if the outside players want to get 60+, it will be more and more difficult, and Hugo's 63 points may not be very high in 60+ clubs, but it is certainly not the lowest.

ESPN also listed the time it took the league's active superstars to score 60+, starting with Kobe Bryant, who scored more than 60 points for the first time in his career on December 21, 2005, and it took him 10 seasons to achieve this record as the "96 Golden Generation". Also in 2005, in 1996, Iverson scored 60 points on 17-of-36 shooting, but he had to be a season earlier than Kobe, which means that it took 11 seasons for the answer to enter the 60+ club. Finally, there is Maddie, who entered the league a year later than Kobe, who took 7 seasons to achieve 60+.

In this way, if you want to surpass 60 points, you have to work hard for about ten years. However, there are exceptions, Jordan's first 60+ was in the 1985-1986 playoffs, and the gang leader entered the league in 1984, and the "General" Arenas met with 60 points in only 6 seasons.

But in any case, Wu Huang's time to get 60+ is enough to be called unprecedented, Yahoo Sports' report is actually suspected of inducing readers, Wu Huang can enter the 60+ club in his rookie season, which is where his 63 points are really rare.

The outside media reported overwhelmingly on Wu Huang's 63-point performance after the game, but at this moment, the protagonist in the news was so tired that he wanted to be a dead dog.

After last night's game, Wu Huang went to Christine's house first, worked hard for half the night, he was in a good mood, he wanted to sleep lazily, and he never got up in the afternoon if he couldn't sleep the next day, but he didn't expect Christine to leave in the morning, and he was beaten by the British girl before noon.

After being squeezed by little Hermione, Wu Huang just got home in the afternoon, and received a call from Taylor Swift to return to New York, so after seeing the little singer in the evening, Wu Huang's face was already a little pale.

And that's not all, when Emperor Wu dragged his crumbling body to Taylor Swift's bed, ready to go to bed at 8:20 tonight, Emma Roberts's phone call came again. Little Radish shouted at him in an excited voice on the phone for a long time, forcing him to get up and look at his website, Panda TV broke the record of one million simultaneous online viewing for the first time today.

"Damn, I broke the record today!" Emperor Wu wailed, and fell asleep...... Soon, he had a strange dream. In his dream, he seemed to feel that he had two bodies, and then he became three, and now he could finally solve the embarrassment of being too busy.

In another time and space, some people also had a strange dream, only to see a big man in fox pattern pajamas, sweating profusely sitting up from the bed, glanced at Taylor Swift who was still sleeping next to him, and shouted in his heart: "Boss, I dreamed that I was by three girls, why is there your Christine among the three girls, I didn't want to sleep with her!" ”

Another big man in panda pajamas also sat up from the bed, glanced at Christine and Chloe Moretz lying on the left and right, smiled, and said in his heart: "It's okay, I also had this dream just now, and I also gave your little singer and little Hermione to ABC, and I still took advantage of it." ”

"Strange, this is the second time we've had the same dream, the last time I dreamed that I didn't know what to do in Hong Kong, this time the location was changed to New York, what's the situation?"

"How do I know, the picture in the dream is scattered when I think about it now, I don't think about it, tomorrow is Kobe's last game, just against my Nets, do you think I should put some water on him, or let him leave with a loss?"

"If I were you, I'd elbow him hard tomorrow, he actually broke my nose in the last game, and this bastard's last game didn't touch me, count him lucky." (To be continued.) )
