Chapter 216 - Breaking the Record, Mr. 50+ is Born
Just as Li Yao and the others slowly walked to the court, Wade grabbed Li Yao's right hand.
"What's wrong, Dwyan?" Li Yao glanced at Wade curiously and asked suspiciously.
"Lee, haven't you forgotten what I told you this morning?" Wade looked at Li Yao and said.
"Dwyan, it's not necessary, is it?" Li Yao was stunned for a moment, and then said with an embarrassed face.
"If you kid can't finish it, I'll tell Margot and them when I get back to Miami that you're going to a nightclub with me." After Wade said something meaningfully, he didn't bother with Li Yao and ran directly into the field, leaving Li Yao alone with a painful expression.
The scene is back this morning.
"Lee, I've already told Coach Spo that you're going to have unlimited firing rights tonight, and you have to give me 50 points, otherwise you'll have to wait." In the morning, when the Heat generals were still doing warm-up training in the target center arena, Dwyane suddenly walked up to Li Yao and whispered.
"Dwyan, what's the matter?" Li Yao was practicing this three-point shot here, but suddenly heard Wade walk up to him and say this headless sentence, and he was suddenly confused, what is the situation? Unlimited right to fire? Did I hear me right?
"It's nothing, just remember to do it for me anyway." Wade didn't say much, but just told Li Yao to do it.
"Wait a minute, Dwyan, you're not going to be beaten by the Lakers, are you?" After thinking about it for a while, Li Yao felt that there seemed to be only one situation, Li Yao clearly remembered Wade's apologetic eyes at that time, he thought that the matter would be over after the end of the game, but who would have thought that Wade's behavior today made Li Yao think about it again.
"How is that possible? I'm just a little tired today and I want to take a break, anyway, you're going to get me 50 points today. Wade didn't expect Li Yao to see through his trick so quickly, and he was a little embarrassed, and then turned around and left after saying a word in a panic.
The picture turned back to the arena again, and after Li Yao watched Wade turn around and leave like in the morning, he had to shake his head and follow helplessly.
Of course, Barkley didn't know the conversation between the two, otherwise, it was really hard to imagine what kind of expression this Sir Charles would have.
The game officially kicked off with the referee's opening whistle.
Mark. Gasol also overpowered Al again. Jefferson grabbed the opening ball for the Heat.
Li Yao took the basketball from his teammates, recalled Wade's explanation to himself, and pouted, since Wade is like this, then let yourself control the game today.
In the Timberwolves team, the opposite player today is Sebastian Telfel, this player is actually Li Yao is really not impressed by him, so Li Yao had to directly choose the simplest and most direct way, directly start relying on his own speed to break through Sebastian Telfil head-on.
Although Sebastian Telfil is also a smart and speedy point guard, it is really much worse than the speed of Li Yao, a vinegar monk.
Therefore, Li Yao's side directly relied on speed to forcibly wipe it from Sebastian Telfil's side, and he didn't even use the first lightning step, so he simply left Sebastian Telfil behind.
I have to say a little here, the defense of the Timberwolves, the young janissaline army, is really a big problem, after Li Yao threw Sebastian Telfil away, the rest of the Timberwolves' players were not able to choose to make up for the defense in the first time, so Li Yao rushed into the Timberwolves' interior line so easily.
However, there was a person rushing towards Li Yao, and this person was Michael who was shouting before the game. Beasley, in fact, his attention has been on Li Yao since the end of the jump ball, and at the moment when Li Yao started, he was also vigilant on his side, and he was ready to give Li Yao a big hat as a warning from the side at any time.
As a result, he never expected that Li Yao not only directly threw Sebastian Telfil out of his position, but also none of his teammates stepped forward to defend Li Yao. Beasley came straight from the other side to make up the defense.
Li Yao saw Michael. Beasley couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after his move, this guy just doesn't care about defenders?
However, Li Yao was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted, since you are here, isn't Birdman Anderson empty?
The moment Li Yao thought of this, he directly shook his right hand and threw the basketball in his hand into the air, he believed that the birdman would not let go of such an opportunity.
The birdman really lived up to Li Yao's expectations, and after seeing Li Yao's basketball shot, the birdman took off directly.
Receiving Li Yao's pass from the air is a direct two-handed dunk. Although Jefferson wanted to block the Birdman, he was defeated by Mark Brown. Gasol was completely stuck, so he didn't have time to jump, so he could only watch Anderson complete a violent dunk in front of him.
Upon landing, the Birdman spread his hands and waved, which was his signature celebration and gave him the nickname Birdman.
Of course, the birdman who pretended to be forced would not forget Li Yao as the assister, and immediately gave Li Yao a thumbs up.
After Li Yao also gave the birdman a thumbs up at the same time, he began to command his teammates to retreat.
"We can tell from this ball, Michael. Beasley seems to have a deep grudge against Lee, and after seeing Li Yao break through into the inside line, he actually gave up his defender directly and chose to make up for Lee, but he ignored Lee's pass, so he created the birdman's takeoff. "Kenny. Smith was commenting on the Heat's offense on the sidelines. Beasley has gone a little too far, and although Lee has already hit the inside, Al. Jefferson is still on the inside, and Beasley doesn't need to be so impulsive.
"Hehe, I actually really want the Timberwolves to be able to limit Lee like this throughout the game." Barkley was secretly happy on the sidelines, if the Timberwolves defended Li Yao like this throughout the game, then although Li Yao's assist may set a new record for him, but the score will definitely not be high. Smith's bet is even more likely to give him a better chance of winning.
But Barkley didn't know about the agreement between Li Yao and Wade, otherwise it would definitely not be so easy now.
"Sir Charles, you are really shameless." Kenny. Smith looked at Barkley speechlessly.
"The winner has the right to speak." Barkley snorted and set his sights on the field again.
On the Timberwolves' side, not only does it have a lot of problems on the defensive end, but even the rhythm on the offensive end is very messy, although Sebastian Telfil is a speedy point guard, he is really not a qualified point guard in terms of organizing the team.
Although Al. Jefferson is currently the star of the Timberwolves, but because the Timberwolves really don't have a core in the real sense, it leads to their offense being very messy, that is, the rhythm of doing when there is a chance.
And Sebastian Telfil wanted to rely on his speed to regain the lost face from Li Yao just now, so he rushed towards Li Yao with no indomitable progress.
And Li Yao gently leaned on Sebastian Telfil's body just right, and through the gap when he collided with Sebastian Telfil's body, Li Yao's ape arm was lightly out, relying on the advantage of his arm span, instantly clicked off the basketball in Sebastian Telfil's hand, and then got up and chased the basketball before he reacted.
In an instant, the three outside line members of the Heat rushed to the front court together, and Li Yao was about to stop according to his habit when he picked up the ball and passed it to Wade, but he found that Wade's side passed it to himself again as soon as he received the ball, Li Yao instantly remembered Wade's explanation to himself in the morning and before the game, and shook his head helplessly, and then ran to the Timberwolves' basket with a tomahawk dunk to end the fast attack.
In the next game, Li Yao simply changed responsibilities with Wade directly, with Wade assisting and Li Yao scoring.
At the end of the first half alone, Li Yao had already scored 33 points, and Wade also got 9 assists.
"Hey, Director Zhang, I didn't expect Li Yao's score to be so strong tonight, he had already scored 33 points in just half a year, it seems that there is no problem for Li Yao to score 40+ today." On the side of ccya5, Yu Jia couldn't help but exclaim when he looked at the technical statistics from the broadcast end.
"40 points is definitely not a big problem, I feel that Li Yao can even try to hit the 50-point mark, if Li Yao can score 50 points today, he will become the youngest Mr. 50+ in NBA history." Teacher Zhang Lili was also a little shocked, you must know that Da Yao's highest score in the NBA history is only 41 points, it seems that it is not difficult for Li Yao to break through the highest score of Chinese players today, and even hit the 50-point mark.
Different from the joy of the CCYA5 commentary, Barkley's whole face on the TNT commentary table was darkened, he didn't expect that after the opening assist in this game, Li Yao put all his experience on the score, and the most speechless thing for him was that Wade, the team boss, actually had no opinion on Li Yao's so many shots, but began to take over the responsibility of Li Yao's attack, and became an assister with peace of mind.
"Sir Charles, it looks like I've won today's bet." Kenny. Smith looked at Barkley's ugly face and laughed.
In the end, the Heat successfully won 117-107 against the Timberwolves at the target center in Minnesota, and Li Yao scored a game-high 51 points, successfully surpassing James's 56 points against the Raptors on March 21, 2005 to become the youngest 50+ scorer in NBA history.
