Chapter Sixty-Nine: Another Record?
Del Harris quickly replaced the main force back, and the current situation is obvious, Jonny is already crazy, and Del Harris really can't find a way to limit Jonny in this state, so taking advantage of the fact that the Lakers still have a 7-point lead at this time, replace their main force, stabilize the current advantage, and then slowly grind the point difference.
O'Neal and others returned to the court, and on the Magic side, Ricky Adubatu also expected it, and he also made a substitution, Dennis Scott, who was in good shape, re-played, and Nick Anderson also appeared, and Jonny served as a point guard, and the Magic once again strengthened the outside defense.
But this time, the Lakers learned smartly, from the beginning, they handed the ball to O'Neal, let O'Neal beat Horris Grant, O'Neal's big ass arched one by one, Horris Grant soon couldn't bear it, he was squeezed away by O'Neal, and then O'Neal turned around and dunked again, adding two points, and the difference came to 9 points again.
On the Magic side, Jonny played a cameo point guard, the ball was naturally in his hands, and after a timeout just now, Jonny felt that his hand was still very hot, he took the ball and rushed directly to the frontcourt, regardless of the fact that it was a three-point jumper that stopped urgently, and hit it directly. The difference was narrowed to 6 points.
"Jonny's three points, again! There are 6 points left in the difference, and by this time Jonny has already scored 47 points! He was just one more three-pointer away from scoring 50 points! Hubbie Brown exclaimed, and at this time, the Great Western Forum Arena was booed, and the only place to cheer was the Magic bench, Jonny hit another three-pointer, this game, counting the three points in the first half, Jonny has already shot 7 three-pointers, 7 hits.
On the Lakers' side, they handed the ball to O'Neal again, O'Neal rested for half a quarter, and now his physical strength is still very sufficient, and it is still very easy to beat Horris Grant alone, he gently squeezed back, and directly made a close-range shot, which was a successful hit.
And O'Neal finished playing this ball, Magic changed again, Horris Grant was singled in a row, it was already a little unbearable, he was replaced by Anfernee Hardaway, Richie Adubatu decided to copy the first quarter of play, chase points with a small lineup, and no longer care about O'Neal, in fact, this approach can also be said to be correct, after all, even if the Magic really try their best to defend O'Neal, it is very difficult, it is better to let O'Neal go and strengthen his offense.
As soon as Anfernee Hardaway came on the court, the ball was in his hands, Anfernee Hardaway dribbled past half the court, and seemed to want to break through the ball, but Van Exel's defense against him was still very tight, Anfernee Hardaway tried, but failed, and Jonny asked for the ball back in the run. After all, the Magic player on the court now is in the best condition, and Jonny is the best.
Jonny held the ball, Eddie Jones directly posted it, and Jonny hit 4 three-pointers in a row, and the current Lakers defenders are very defensive about Jonny's three-pointers, especially when Jonny is only three points away from 50 points, they think that the probability of Jonny making a three-point shot is very high.
However, this ball Jonny was not ready to end the battle with three points, his Q skill and W skill were cooled down again, Jonny launched the Q skill and W skill at the same time, and suddenly took a step back with his left foot, followed by a 360-degree turn, which directly wiped Eddie Jones, because Eddie Jones's defensive method against Jonny was close, so this ball Jonny had a very easy time, and wiped it with a slight acceleration.
And when Jonny passed Eddie Jones, the Lakers were already prepared, after all, the way Eddie Jones defended Jonny was obviously so that Jonny could easily break through, so when Jonny rushed into the three-point line, Jerome Colsi wrapped it up.
However, at this time, the three-stage breakthrough of Jonny's Q skill was just used, and he still had two breakthroughs that were useless, so when Corsi rushed over like a reckless man to make up for the defense, Jonny suddenly pulled the ball back, making Jerome Corsi think that Jonny was about to step back and make a move, and hurriedly rushed forward to take a step, about to jump up and interfere.
Who knew that Jonny suddenly took a step forward again, pulled the ball back, and pulled the ball back just now, which was just a feint, and Jonny shook the ball back and forth, and shook Jerome Colsey away from the defense, and then Jonny rushed directly to the front, and hit this mid-range shot without defense.
"Oh! Unbelievable crossover! Jonny's two consecutive crossovers directly shook off Eddie Jones and Jerome Colsi, and this goal was so beautiful! Mike Brin couldn't help but exclaim, although Jonny performed a lot of crossover in this game, but there are not many that are as exciting as this one.
And because of the 150% bonus of passive skills and R skills, Jonny's shooting accuracy after breaking through in this game is very high, and this ball is hit again, and the difference between the two sides has become 6 points, and Jonny's personal score in this game has become 49 points, and the distance is 50 points, only one point away!
However, the difference in points, back to 6 points, did not make the players happy for too long, it was the turn of the Lakers to attack, O'Neal singled again, this time it was Ronnie Secali who defended him, and compared to Horris Grant, Ronnie Secali's defense was only a symbolic top a few times, and O'Neal hit again. And O'Neal, who hit this ball, also let out an excited roar, and looked at Anfernee Hardaway intentionally or unintentionally, as if to say: I said that I would make the Magic regret it, and I must make the Magic regret it.
Then, the two sides seemed to enter a tug-of-war, with the Magic side Jonny constantly using his crossover to break through, and after the breakthrough, he either came by himself or passed the ball, while the Lakers' approach was even simpler, they directly handed the ball to O'Neal, and O'Neal played the single. Now O'Neal has some signs of laziness later, but this game, perhaps to realize the previous rhetoric of this game, O'Neal seems to be working very hard.
And when Jonny hit another mid-range shot, Jonny quietly approached the rookie single-game scoring record. He has scored 56 points on 20-of-25 shooting, including 8-of-8 three-pointers and 8-of-8 from the free-throw line. And it is only 2 points away from the rookie single-game scoring record held by Big Beidou Wilt Chamberlain!
However, it was such a performance that the Magic still failed to close the gap, they were still 5 points behind, and it seemed that such a margin was like a moat, and they could never be crossed.
Seeing that the time was getting less and less, Ricky Adumbatu called a timeout again, he was very distressed, this game has been played to this point, if the game still can't be won, it will really make people feel unwilling.
