Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Night of the Peak
On the court, the basketball hit the floor with a dull sound, at this time the third quarter of the game has been played to zuihou for a minute, the old Miller slowly dribbled the ball across the frontcourt, and now the entire Nuggets team directly suppressed the rhythm of the game, this is George Karl's order, don't play fast break!
The score of 72:71 is now compared to which team is more stable, to be honest, from these two teams, the control of the point guard is definitely better than the Clippers, and the Clippers with Paul and Chauncey can completely suppress the momentum of the Nuggets, so George Karl now wants the team to stabilize their position, don't make mistakes, and wait until the fourth quarter.
The two teams were deadlocked with each other for a minute, and Luo Yun did not have the right opportunity to rush inside to cut points, and both sides did not score a point for the rest of the time, and the turbulent third quarter of the game was officially over.
At this time, the news about Winnie the Pooh breaking through a career high has spread on the Internet, and the NBA's official clicks have begun to continue to increase, and the atmosphere of the Christmas war has been deduced.
"Keep an eye on Chris and Griffin, these two are the hardest points for the Clippers to defend, and as long as Billups comes up, Andre must stick to me, and he must not let him shoot threes!" George Karl stood on the sidelines and shouted loudly, now the Nuggets and the Clippers have a similarity, that is, their No. 2 point guards are both experienced existences, and Miller Sr.'s current role in the Nuggets is like Chauncey in the Clippers. So George Carr's purpose now is clear. Or the old Miller and Luo Yun played at the same time. But Luo Yun doesn't need to think about other issues, just attack, and let Old Miller control the overall situation!
Back in the fourth quarter, the lineups of the two sides began to change, the Clippers are Turiaf, Griffin, Barnes, Crawford and Paul, and the Nuggets are Koufors, Farid, Iguodala, Loyun and Miller Sr., the Nuggets boys are relatively better, which is the main reason why George Karl put this lineup, and he now needs Loyun's hand to maintain offensive firepower. Strive to widen the score difference as soon as it comes up.
On the one hand, the Clippers let Barnes, who has the ability to shoot three, come up because of Butler's poor performance, and Turiaf sits on the inside line to greatly improve the Clippers' interior defense, and this cargo defense is much easier to use than Jordan Jr., and Crawford is also a hidden factor, because this guy leaves a suspense on the floor, no one knows when he will have a convulsion, which can be regarded as a miracle soldier!
Miller Sr. began to organize the positional offense, and Paul pulled to the outside to play with Miller Sr., but Andre didn't seem to want to fight him, and directly let Iguodala go to the top of the three-point arc to receive the ball. The first brother also had a lot of space in the face of Barnes, and the rhythm on the court directly set the tone.
Farid also began to come to the high positions at this time to build a wall for Iguodala. The latter rushed in, Farid immediately cut the basket, Griffin turned around and was about to go to the basket to prevent Farid from receiving the ball, and at this time, the first brother was indeed ready to pass to the half-orc under the basket, but a hit hit the ground directly on the ground and was kicked by Crawford, who came to cover, and the referee blew a whistle and signaled to kick the ball!
Luo Yun stood on the court and took a deep breath, and saw Iguodala serve on the sideline and immediately ran crazy with Crawford, so the entire Clippers lineup was immediately pulled, and at this time, the old Miller also slipped to the outside line and rushed to the basket with the help of Iguodala's pass, using Luo Yun's cover, and handed it to Farid under the basket with a flick of his wrist!
The half-orc took the ball and carried Griffin on his back, the basketball was a little in front of him, his butt sat back, and he immediately got up and made a feint to deceive the other party, and the latter also waved his arm when he saw this, constantly blocking Farid's offensive line, but the half-orc suddenly turned around at this time and squeezed Griffin's body and threw the ball to the basket!
"Bang!"
The sound of striking iron sounded, Griffin immediately riveted his strength to jam Farid, and Turiaf on one side also jumped up and stretched out his hands to the high-flying rebound, and then just as he was about to take it off, Iguodala suddenly rushed over and held the ball in his arms!
After the first brother took the ball, he first protected the ball to death, and when the lineup was opened, he began to play Turyaf with his back, but the first brother had no suitable opportunity to shoot in this position, Luo Yun had already pulled it over when he saw this, and as soon as he beckoned, Iguodala threw the ball to the bottom corner of the three points.
Seeing Luo Yun take the ball, there was another cheer on the scene, and at the same time Crawford also pounced at the first time, the little guy saw this and immediately made a feint to lift the ball above his head and then bent down to dodge into the three-point line when Crawford came up, and then did not hesitate, jumped directly on the left side of the basket, and the basketball fell into the frame with a "bang"!
The two-point shot made it 74-71, and the Nuggets re-opened the score.
Luo Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled slightly at the sidelines, but God didn't seem to want him to rest, just as he got up and went back to the backcourt, a loophole in the Clippers made him shoot out almost the moment he saw it!
"Oh! Not again! ”
With the shouting of the on-site commentary, I saw that the figure on the court was like a lightning bolt coming out, directly on the right side, and copied the tumbling basketball in his hand!
"The ball is broken!"
The scene was suddenly chaotic, Chris Paul and Crawford turned around and followed almost immediately, and Luo Yun also increased his horsepower and rushed towards the front court at the moment, the basketball was leaping at his fingertips, and behind him were two shadows chasing after him, Luo Yun did not hesitate to step into the three-second zone and rose directly into the air, holding the ball high in his left hand, flying towards the basket like an elongated oblique shadow!
"Ah~~~~"
Crawford saw Luo Yun get up, and he knew that he must curb the offensive momentum of the Nuggets, so after the little guy got up, he suddenly stretched out his big hand and forcibly stopped his layup!
At this time, Luo Yun only felt a strong force coming from behind, his pupils shrank slightly, and the basketball in his hand was thrown upward. Directly a bell lying on the basket!
"Dripping ~~~~~~" the referee's whistle blows. Signal for a foul on Crawford. Winnie the Pooh goes to the free throw line.
The atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense again, and Luo Yun glanced at the Clippers, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curled, and he directly shot and hit the first free throw steadily.
"Huh!" Nets tumbling, 75:71.
Iguodala and Miller Sr. stepped forward to give Loyun a high-five, and the little guy has scored 45 points so far, and with one more free throw, he could surpass JR Smith's single-game record of 45 points in Nuggets history, although that number doesn't have a place in the Nuggets' flashy franchise all-time record. But it's also a big encouragement.
And ahead of JR Smith is Carmelo Anthony's 50 points in a single game against the Rockets on February 8, 2011! (Nuggets History)
Luo Yun took a deep breath, stabilized his mind and began to move according to the rhythm of his usual day, with a slight flick of his wrist, the basketball "Huh!" The thud fell into the net.
The Nuggets' bench suddenly erupted in cheers, 76:71, Winnie the Pooh scored 46 points in a single game, successfully surpassing JR Smith!
The Clippers were expressionless, as if it had nothing to do with them, but Luo Yun didn't know these things now. To be honest, he used to focus on the Nuggets' all-time assists, and he didn't pay attention to the team's all-time scoring record at all!
Next. The Clippers also began to increase their defense of Loyun, but the Nuggets did not deliberately let Winnie the Pooh score points, but let Miller Sr. play steadily as before, trying to make Farid make a difference on the inside, most of the little guys appeared as saviors, and then coldly scared the Clippers, after all, the stinky boy felt hot today and couldn't stop it at all.
As the game progressed, the scores of the two sides continued to rise, but during this time, Luo Yun did not score points, but missed the iron twice, and the Clippers thought that Winnie the Pooh's hand had disappeared, so they were slightly relaxed on the defensive end, however, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Luo Yun held the ball on the outside, Crawford stared at his footsteps, at this time Farid also understood what the little guy was going to do, seeing Luo Yun began to dribble and force in, he immediately pulled to the outside line to block it, at this time Griffin, who was staring at him, also followed, Luo Yun saw this and immediately accelerated the whole person suddenly shot out like a sharp sword, Crawford was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly pasted it sideways, but what he didn't expect was that Luo Yun actually turned around suddenly near the free throw line, and the basketball rushed to the outside of the three-point line.
"Passing?"
There was an uproar at the scene, Crawford saw that Luo Yun gave up the ball and went to find the receiver as soon as possible, sure enough, when he looked back, it happened to be Iguodala standing outside the three-point line, and when he saw that Griffin had pounced, he immediately started, however, Iguodala smiled slightly and threw the basketball into the air!
Bastard, the Clippers players on the court were already confused, and Negro stood on the sidelines and yelled, apparently his players were fooled.
However, at this time, there was still one person who remained awake, Chris Paul had already followed after Luo Yun's pass, but at this time, Winnie the Pooh had begun to run with all his strength, looking at the Clippers who had just reacted, the inside line suddenly burst into the air, and the whole body instantly rose into the air, and the basketball in the air was also constantly rolling, Luo Yun smashed into the inside line to catch the high-flying basketball!
"Block him!" Negro's roar echoed over the arena, but who could stop it all now, no, even though Chris Paul was back at full speed, but still not!
At this time, Luo Yun's whole body had been stretched into a bow, looking at the basket that was close at hand, he directly held the basketball high with both hands, and smashed it into the basket that had begun to tremble with an extremely tyrannical attitude!
It was like a bolt of lightning piercing the dark night sky and blooming in a roar!
"Bang dang!"
A bang overturned the audience!
82:78, still the Nuggets lead!
Luo Yun stood on the floor and looked at the panting Clippers in front of him, and his heart was also happy, at this time, Iguodala also rushed up and collided with Luo Yun fiercely, in the fourth quarter, dominated by the Nuggets!
The fans at the scene were already boiling, and the stadium kept replaying the wonderful picture just now, from Luo Yun passing Crawford to Iguodala, who threw the ball Luo Yun cut into the basket to catch it in this short period of time, people can no longer describe all this in words, that indomitable momentum makes the enemy frightened, and everyone is glad that today is in Los Angeles, and they are glad that they can witness the peak night of Winnie the Pooh!
Clippers head coach Negro is dumbfounded. When Winnie the Pooh proves with his actions that his miracle continues. He abruptly retreated from the game. Looking at the star-studded Clippers and then at the Nuggets' group of young boys, he finally understood that Weishenme's team can rise to the second place in the West because they are the Nuggets, the most dynamic team in the NBA, and of course, that one-of-a-kind George Karl!
The game continued, and the Clippers were already stunned by the thunderous blow, and they didn't know what Winnie the Pooh was going to do next. 82:78, the gap of only 4 points is like a curse in front of the Clippers, they don't feel tired when they are ahead, but once they fall behind, the feeling of just catching up and being quickly thrown away is so uncomfortable, even if they have the top point guard and interior lineup in the league, but what is it today!
Chris Paul was furious, his calm eyes were full of burning anger, and the continuous high-speed disguise made people clearly understand his strength, and he turned around beautifully and went directly to the restricted area for a layup, and Farid and Coofors were like children being played. I can only watch Chris Paul go away!
"Chris~~~~~Paul ~~~"
With the long tail notes of the live DJ, the entire Staples Center was brought back to life. A huge wave of people surged in the audience, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
Miller Sr. advanced to the frontcourt, and now the Clippers have once again listed Winnie the Pooh as the number one enemy, and although they have the cheers of the fans, the Clippers seem to be extra cautious.
The Nuggets repeatedly guided the ball again, pulled to the outside line to let Luo Yun catch the ball again, Winnie the Pooh pulled away in an instant with a gesture, and Crawford in front of him was also on pins and needles, Chris Paul repeatedly wandered around the neighborhood in an attempt to shake off Miller, but the experienced Andre stuck to Paul like a piece of kraft candy, making it difficult for him to go up to help defend in the first place.
The basketball slapped in Luo Yun's hand, smashing Crawford's heart as if it was about to be broken, he was conceited and outstanding, and he was not afraid of anyone in the league, but Luo Yun's cold eyes told him that this was just his imagination!
moved, Luo Yun moved, like a sharp arrow off the string, suddenly rushed in from Crawford's left side, and the basketball instantly came to his left hand, like a blue match!
Crawford's heart trembled suddenly, and he kicked the whole person with his right foot and immediately leaned sideways, but Luo Yun turned his right foot a little forward to the left at this time, and his body pulled back diagonally, and the basketball in his left hand went directly around his back, instantly disguised!
The fans in the stadium stared at the scene on the field with wide eyes, and at this time, although Crawford had already noticed Luo Yun's movements, his body did not obey at all, but he still stretched out his left arm to block Luo Yun's forward route.
The little guy felt that the basketball seemed to be integrated with him, and the body that had broken through to the left immediately changed the route and killed from the right side, and the right arm directly blocked Crawford's big hand, at this time, seeing that the other party had turned back, there was almost no hesitation, and the ball in his right hand suddenly turned his back to Crawford, and a back turned to instantly stagger the position of the two!
At the same time, Griffin also pulled out of the inside line in time, but when he just arrived, Luo Yun suddenly took a step to the left, watched Turyaf under the basket attack and jumped directly, raised his arms high, and threw the ball out with an extremely stretched movement.
The basketball shot out along the perfect golden section, tumbling wildly over the scorching Staples, roaring and running towards the basket.
There was silence in the audience, and the audience's breathing seemed to stop, watching Winnie the Pooh jump high and stretch his arms.
Finally, the moment the basketball broke through the net, it was like throwing a stone into the calm sea, splashing white waves and overturning the entire court!
"Huh!"
Like thunder on the ground, the whole court fell into a deaf roar at the moment when the basketball entered the net, the audience was crazy, the fans in front of the TV felt that the blood was burning all over their bodies at this moment, and the thin figure standing in the field, on the court of giants, made people have a kind of hysterical madness, like a straight javelin, shocking the audience!
In the huge Staples Center Arena, Luo Yun turned around, pointed to the sky, and suddenly the whole audience roared, and the crazy shouts almost pierced the entire arena!
Fifty points, Winnie the Pooh completed the feat tonight, fifty points in a single game!
The Nuggets' bench is already in shambles. At this time, Iguodala was the first to rush over and hug Luo Yun. Immediately after that, the sound of the live DJ sounded. Although it was away from home, it was in Los Angeles, Winnie the Pooh's first glorious witness, and today they witnessed the rise of this boy again!
Luo Yun was surrounded by his teammates, Farid yelled excitedly, and the little guy was extremely excited, although he didn't deliberately force the score, but it really came to this moment. He found that he had never felt this way before.
At 84:80, the four-point gap allowed the Clippers to catch up and be pulled away again, the Clippers called a timeout, and the game came to a standstill again.
Luo Yun was warmly cheered by the fans at the scene when he left the game, and many Los Angeles fans also gave a standing ovation, you must know that most of them are also loyal fans of UCLA, and George Carr also looked at the little guy with a smile on his face, anyway, he is naturally extremely happy that the players he has trained can perform like this, but all he needs to do now is to give Winnie the Pooh a wake-up call. After all, the game is not over yet.
As Paul and Negro were talking loudly on the Clippers' side, the circuit diagram on the tactical board began to appear. For the Clippers to fight back and outperform their opponents, they must be foolproof in the next games, because the minutes are passing and the opportunities are getting fewer and fewer for them.
However, the heavens are not beautiful, and when Winnie the Pooh scores 50 points, Iguodala explodes!
"Huh!"
After receiving the ball, he raised his hand directly outside the three-point line and shot angrily, Iguodala staged a dry pull-up jumper in front of Barnes, and a high-arc three-point shot instantly fell into the net, and the first brother finally began to exert his strength as the Nuggets' second leader, although scoring is not his main task, but he did not hesitate to shoot at the critical moment.
Then the Clippers quickly counterattacked, Chris Paul received Griffin in the air, and the latter went straight into the sky like a big bird and smashed the ball into the basket, but this also became the Clippers' swan song in this game!
At 8:24 of the fourth quarter, Chris Paul missed the basket with three points, and Jordan Jr. grabbed the rebound and jumped up again to dunk but was fanned off by the newly replaced McGee.
Immediately the Clippers played the ball outside the line, Griffin received the ball and played with his back Reed caused an offensive foul, the ball was converted, Winnie the Pooh directly led the whole team to the frontcourt, looking at the tired Clippers, the fans all sighed deeply, especially when Winnie the Pooh jumped up again, Chris Paul also had to use a tactical foul!
"Drop!"
A whistle sounded like a train captain, and Luo Yun was sent to the free throw line again!
The little guy only felt a buzzing in his ears at this time, and the whole person was already exhausted, looking at the high basket and the expectant eyes of his teammates, he also took a deep breath and directly sent the ball out!
"Bang!"
The piercing sound of iron resounded in the stadium, and the fans were disappointed, although Luo Yun is an away player, but now he has scored 50 points, whether he can go further has become everyone's expectation, but at this time he is iron, is it said that he is no longer good?
Iguodala and Miller Sr. stepped forward and patted Luo Yun on the shoulder, trying to make him relax a little, after all, everyone was exhausted now, and it was normal for the shooting rate to decrease.
But Luo Yun didn't think so, he wanted to shoot this ball and break through the 50-point mark, he had never wanted it so much, this number was like a magic force that attracted him, and he wanted to go up and stab it.
Luo Yun stabilized his emotions and tried to find the feeling when he made free throws, shooting 82.5% of the free throws per game, and he has absolute confidence.
The basketball slapped on the ground, Luo Yun began to throw the ball according to the feeling of training on weekdays, and the basketball began to roll and rush forward, and finally, under that pleasant soft sound, the scene boiled again!
'51 points, 51 points, my God, thank you for giving us such a good game today, a miracle created by a young player who is only 20 years old, does this need to be played? I think everyone can pack up and go home for Christmas! "Ricciardo was extremely excited in the commentary box, although his words were biased, but the fans didn't care, yes! Who cares about that at this time!
With 51 points in a single game, the Clippers' players have become numb, and now the score gap has reached 8 points, 97:89, and the game is gradually coming to an end. (To be continued......)
